Fills in Alberta?



Recommended Posts

Hiya,

I'm hoping to be banded soon (in Toronto) and live in SK, does anyone know if there are any docs in western Canada who will carry out fills?

Thanks,

Buffie

Buffie!

Dr. Mitchell in Calgary!

Mandi! lol

*edit* - I got this from another post:

The doctor in Calgary that does fills is Dr. Philip Mitchell 403-264-6720

He's at the Peter Laughheed Centre and charges $100. for a fill.

In Alberta, other than Dr. Mitchell in Calgary?

They do banding in Edmonton... Dr's Davey and Birch, BUT I don't know if they do fills on patients that aren't their own.

I would call the Royal Alex hospital, ask for the number for the Bariatric Clinic (or Program), and that should put you in touch with someone who can tell you if they can do fills for 'other' patients. If you do, post back and let us know what they say!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
