How to get an unfill / defill in Toronto Ontario area - former CIBO patient

[skatie 1]

Hi - long story short, I had a lapband put in by CIBO in Toronto over 10 years ago. We all know they went bankrupt, and I probably haven't had any fills/ unfill / care in over 7 years. Recently I'm finding the band too tight and throw up several times a week and most of the weight I lost has been gained back as I can't eat the good foods as I can't digest them. I've asked my family doc to refer me to the original surgeon Dr. Hong who I recall doing my surgery as I think I'd like to get it out. Its been over a month and I'm still waiting to hear from his office. In the meantime I'd really like to get a defill just to help me get in a better place to get better food in me and stop the throwing up when I get stuck. I can't even think about eating out in a restaurant or with friends now as I fear I'll have to run to bathroom and get unstuck! So I'm looking for someone in central Toronto area that would be willing to do a defill for me. After CIBO went under I was getting some adjustments with a nurse that was helping out but I've lost touch with her. Any advice on where to go or who to contact?? Thanks

Hi, can’t help where you can go, my band did exactly the same after 12 years, I know what a pain it is, I’ve just changed to the sleeve, I was so fed up with the constant sickness . Hope you get help

Hi I wondering if I can email you for fills defills?

I had my band since 2008 and hopefully having it removed with bypass. I just started the process at Humber hospital.
