hello fellow canadian..

I too was recently banded (Feb 1, 2006). Are there many Surgeons in Alberta that do this surgery?

Hey Canooks! I've lived in Calgary, Lethbridge, and High River, Alberta, and Cranbrook, B.C. and I can now speak Canadian. Man, it was really hard living in igloos the whole time and travelling around by dog sled, but I got through it LOL. Can't say where you can find a surgeon but I sort of felt homesick when I saw the Canadian reference so I had to respond.
