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!

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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
