Just curious if anyone has made a down payment to one clinic and then had second thoughts and opted out of the surgery. Is it possible to get down payment back? Feeling like I haven't been given all the information I need for this, and all they were worries about was getting he money! Had a previous consult with other company and feel like I would be better off going to them.

I've never heard of anyone having to make a down payment? Usually it's all covered by insurance. If you're self insured, I still don't see why they need money up front?

My hospital required a $250 co-insurance payment on or before surgery day. I would push for the refund if they haven't provided services to you.

I am in Canada, doing the lapband, it is all self pay. It is not covered under OHIP .

I was with Dr .Cobourn in Mississauga and the deposit was non refundable
