I too am from Canada and I had my surgery with Dr. Kuri in Oct 2013. Jo Ann gave me a list of fill providers in my area and I discovered that in Alberta if a doctor does the fill health care pays for it. I have had 4 fills so far because my doctor was taking it slow to find my "sweet spot". i wasn't losing weight but the last fill was only a week ago and i am down 3.5 lbs. I am very excited
