Hi everyone.... I am brand new to the site and am interested in Lap Band Surgery. I live in Saskatchewan. Anyone from around here have surgery and where?

when is your surgery? i am there on june 5th

Who was your surgeon?

I am interested in the sleeve and I am in Saskatchewan..... have you heard if that area is actually dangerous to travel to or not. I am wanting to go and get it done in Mexico soon - but I have been looking at Dr. Alvarez as well (just across border from San Antonio, TX). Let me know if you have heard from OHIP and maybe you will be doing something different. I will be on a self pay as our government does not cover that procedure. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Are there any Canadians out there that have had the VSG procedured completed - in our outside of Canada? I am in Saskatchewan and have been trying to do my research on the sleeve and having a hard time finding alot of information on it - where can I go to find it?

Who was your surgeon and where are they located?

where did have your lap band surgery done - and are you in saskatoon by chance?

Hi there - not sure if you mean May 8, 2009 or not? if so, how do I get information about when, where they are coming to and how i can make sure i attend - thanks! I am in Saskatoon

I have been doing my research and I am seriously considering going to Mexico (Dr. Ortiz) for the surgery. I would love to hear from others that have gone there (good and bad please) as well as anyone in Saskatchewan that has had the lap band surgery - regardless of where you were banded. I am in Saskatoon and wonder mostly right now about post-op care, fills, etc. I am looking forward to hearing from anyone!

Hey Mica. I am in Saskatoon and seriously considering going to Dr. Ortiz in Mexico for the surgery. Who do you have do you fills in Saskatoon, what is the cost and are you happy with it? Looking forward to hearing from you!

Anyone in Saskatchewan considering or has been banded?>

Who was your surgeon in Mexico and why there?

who was the fill nurse in saskatoon - which doctors office?

I have an appointment for my annual physical with my family doctor next week and will be discussing this procedure as an option for me. Has anyone had any fills done here in Saskatoon? Glad to hear there are others from Saskatchewan in the same boat as me.... sometimes I feel all alone here.
