Can Anyone Give Me Their Fill Doctor Info



Recommended Posts

I was banded in Korea a few months ago. I had the band taken out because of erosin and will get another one in 3 months. I have started to do some research in trying to find a fill doctor for when I do go back to Canada to live but I haven't had much luck.

I will be living in Ontario but traveling anywhere in Canada will be a heck of a lot closer then Korea.

Can anyone give me their fill doc contact info so I can contact them to see if they would accept me as a patient?

I am starting to freak out. I am self pay and so far I can only find places that want me to pay $5,000 for me to go to their clinic for fills. I can't afford that! I am hoping to find something cheaper.

Thanks for the help in advance :eek:

I see Dr. Mitchell in Calgary. He's $150/fill. You can reach his office at 403-264-6720 option 6. I was banded in Mexico and he's a-ok with seeing me. I don't think he'd have an issue with seeing someone banded in Korea. You can also try Dr. Burke at 403-278-3411. She does Mexico patients as well and is cheaper at $100/fill.

Hopefully someone in Ontario will chime in and provide you with some closer choices. Good luck!

I know back when I was banded there was a doctor at the Grande Prairie hospital that would do fills and bill them through AHC so you wouldn't have to pay, provided your doctor wrote a letter, but I don't know if this is still the case. I don't know what's available north of Calgary. I've met a few people at Dr. Mitchell's office from Edmonton, so I'm guessing options are limited.

I had my surgery done by Dr. Ortiz with Obesity Control Center in Tijuana. Best of luck in your journey. :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
