Dr. woodland the lady said it would be ok for my family doctor to do the fills but i need to see the doctor and ask him all the question and its a $400 for the first visit. Im going to vancouver on nov 2 for the weekend it would be nice to see him and asking some questions.

    Calgary is close too, the reason why i would go to tlbc is because they give you a video and they let your family doctor here in Whitehorse do the fills i know of 3 people here in Whitehorse that get the family doctor do the fills. for me to get to Vancouver or Calgary its a $700 plane ride. andree

    Lap Band Surgery-BC Canada

    the lady told me its just over $13000 but she not being to much help, Im not complaining about the price its just that i would need to fly to Vancouver a couple of times and she not trying to work with me, wonder if she ever get a day off and i could speak with someone else? i like the clinic in toronto they do everything over the phone so you only need to fly there once to get the surgery. andree

    Lap Band Surgery-BC Canada

    Thats right i would like to go and see him and see what he thinks but i really dont want to pay $400 to just say hi i think that lady needs a new job she not a people person. she did send me the kit so i have to go and do all this and then pay $400 to see him and maybe or maybe not will i go with him i think he charge to much.

    she just told me if someone here in Whitehorse is qualified do to the fill then that would be fine and one of the doctor here is doing the fill for the tlbc clinic, so i dont really see the difference. and she did say its around $13000 but i would have to make two trips down. andree
