PSTEVENS9, Thank you for the kind words!! Its nice to know this board is not only for TLBC and SWLC. I just wanted to give you my experience at the clinic. I am glad you got to meet Dr. Misra, she is a wonderful surgon. I wish you the best of luck with your surgery. I know Im only a month out, but if you have any questions feel free to ask! Even though we are from different clinics HAHAHA!!!

Just so you all know I do not work for the clinic! I have my own business which keeps me busy enough. The after care I have recieved thus far has been over what I expected. I met with the nutritionist, the physcologist and the Doctor one week after banding. The clinc has called me on many occations to check on me as did the nutritionist. As for the clinic not having a track record well my aunt works for Dr. Misra in St Joes. If she cant let me know her track record, I dont know who could??? Im not the only lady that was banded that day there were 4 of us. Its sad that people have to be so negative, we are all in this together. I got the surgey for the same reason you all did. I might have gone somewhere other than the 2 major clinics in Toronto, but that dosent mean ones better than the other. My clinc is just new, like yours was at some point. Like I said at the beginning I did not come on here to dispute what clinic is the best. The question being asked was had anyone been to CIBO? BTW it take a lot to ruffle these big feathers!!!:thumbup:

I did not come on here to dispute which clinic is better than the other. I wanted to let people know there are other options in the GTA other than the 2 clinics you mentioned. I realize the price is a bit higher than the other clinics. I paid $18,000.00, but the pre and post care have been fabulous!! I would recommend CIBO to anyone!!

Hello! I was banded at a private hospital in Toronto. Its called the Cosmetic Surgery Hospital. CIBO has a clinic being built as we speak, but I wanted my surgery done ASAP so they made other arrangements. Dr Misra studied at Ceader Saina in LA and has been doing Lapband surgery in ST Joes on a case study funded by the government. CIBO is a new clinic in the lapband world, but I know they will be around for a very long time!!

Hello! I was banded at the CIBO clinic on February 25, 2008. All my experiences with the clinc have been wonderful. The staff are all amazing and very helpful, most of the people who work there have all been banded. This helps with both pre-op and post-op questions. CIBO is a new clinic, but the Doctor who is working for the clinic has been doing this procedure in the U.S for many years. Dr. Misra works out of St. Joes in Hamilton, doing test studies on banding for people with Diabetes. Dr. Misra has to be one of the best doctors I have ever been treated by, and believe me there has been many!! I am so glad I was banded at CIBO, they have given me a new lease on life!!
