Hi everyone. It is my first time here and I am needing information about the lap band because I am seriously considering the surgery. Does anyone know of any doctors in and around Calgary, Alberta that do the lap band procedure? Thanks.

Hi there, KoobiesMum, I'm glad you found us. This is a great place to come for information when making a decision.

I don't know of any drs in Calgary, however, you may want to check out the Canadian threads, there are several that deal with band surgeons.

I'm in BC and I chose to go to Mexico. I'm still very happy with that decision.

Good luck with all this, and keep posting!

I got it done right in BC.

Doctor is competent and well reviewed

Hi Devana and A.M.. Thanks for your replies. I found out today that there are a few doctors in Calgary!! So I will be letting my GP in on the phone numbers. I went last year to get a refferal done to Dr. Farries in Red Deer. I hadn't heard a peep from my GP or from Dr. Farries office. So, I went back last week to see what was going on. Much to my surprise, it wasn't even done!!! Boy!!! Was I ever upset!!! A whole year wasted. GRRRR. Well, after talking it over with my husband, we decided it would be better to go with a lap band. So this is great that there is a clinic here in Calgary! I don't think I can handle going in for an RNY or flying to Mexico to be banded. I am a mum to 4 small kids and cannot afford to be in bed or away for too long. LOL. So, how was the surgery? How did you feel afterwards? How do you feel now? Are you adjusting well? What is your average loss per week/month? Thanks again.
