canadian who have gone to mexico
Puckmaster replied to andreerichards1's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I went to Dr.Ortiz Mexico and had no problems. And there are doctors that will help you if you have any problems. I live in Edmonton and I see a doctor in Calgary that does my fills because the doctors in Edmonton are narrow minded. But if I had an emergency all I have to do is go to the hospital they work out of and they have to see me. So it is not that bad. Also remember that most of the doctors in Canada learnd how to do the Lap-Band by doctors in Mexico. Dr.Ortiz trains Doctors all over the world and has placed over 3000 Lap-Bands, so I would trust him more than a doctor in Canada that has just started doing them. -
Taked to the docs office in St Albert. He will only do fills for dr Cobourns patients. I think that is really stupid! There are only 2 docs that do this in Edmonton a city of 1 million people and both say the same thing. Didn't do it won't touch it. Everywhere else in the world doctors will do fills for other doctors lap bands, they just charge a fee. SIMPLE. Well you would think so.....

Thanks Gaffer, I sent a message to Becca this morning. Hopefully she gets back to me. It would be great to find someone closer to home as I think I am now at the point of almost finding the right fill amount.

I drive to Calgary from Edmonton and it cost $125.00 a fill. I would like to get a fill in Edmonton, but the doctor here won't touch you unless he did the surgery.
