Every once in a while we get some that pops up with a band from outside the US that is looking for a fill doctor.

I think I remember vaguely of some one have a "Cousine" lapband from Belgium.

There are probably some others.

Are you looking for something in particular?

Bless your heart you live in a cold place. Isn't the population in that territory pretty small also. I think I read somewhere around 25,000.

Yikes that is great thinking ahead and doing your researching and planning.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

This is the Canadian Forum. Drop a line in there and see if someone might have some more info.

I was e-mailed info from my doctor and it said EMMI. Not sure if that's the brand of the band or not.
