Hi Andree and congratulations on your decision. There are two drs in the Vancouver area who do banding and and I believe the price is more like $13,500. They are:

Dr Leung in Surrey (I think it may be Richmond)

604 581 2515

Dr Woodhead in Ladner

604 946 6500

I had my surgery in Mexico and Dr Woodhead is doing my fills. That was absolutely the cheapest option for me but as you will read on this forum the price isn't the only thing to consider. Please feel free to PM me with any questions.

All the best.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
