This is my first post, looking somewhere in the internet I found that having the lap band surgery done by Dr Pierre Leclerc at the Chum hospital in Montreal could take approximately 6 months...

I am trying to find the website for Dr Pierre Leclerc, any information I would be glad to receive, how much it cost etc etc

Thanks you all for the information

Hello Diane! I am a patient of Dr. Leclerc. My operation is scheduled for june 12 2009. My first appointment with Dr.Leclerc was Feb 3rd 2009. At that time, he had asked me to lose around 10 pounds as a show of motivation and readines for the lapband. Until last week the cost of the operation through the public system was payment for the band only (5000$). This said, I need to call and confirm today because I heard last week that gov t was now covering cost of the band as well!!! Great news for me because it was not covered by my insurance benefits i have with my employment. I wish you all the best of luck in this new endeavor!

Thanks Tangodancer to give me all the informations, can I have your email or msn it would be easier to write to you, if you don't want, I will understand.

I would like to follow up with you.
