Banding in the West

[emmasmom60 0]

Does anyone know of surgeons (besides Drs. Amson and Rusnak) who are doing bands in BC or Alberta? In private clinics?

Thanks,

Laura

I'm sorry I cannot help you, but hang tight, there will be someone who can. Keep checking in and you'll get some answers. Also, go back to some old threads on the Canadian section here, you might find what your looking for.

I don't think there are any private clinics in AB, but I'm sure there's someone else doing it in BC. Dr. Leung? Isn't that right? I'll let someone else answer that!

Yes none in AB for sure, I've done my homework!

She speaks the truth. There are some Dr.s in BC that people have used here.

Why do you not want to got to Toronto? I am from Calgary, and will have my fills etc done in Calgary. Plan tickets are pretty cheap to Toronto these days.

I agree! It's also a good excuse to plan a little trip to TO! Go a little early and do some shopping before your surgery day

I can't wait for my trip to TO! I'm soooo excited to go to Square One and shop!

What is this Square One that you speak of. I have to resist the urge to go shopping before my surgery. Yes, I am a man who likes to shop, even more than my wife.

I had my surgery done here in the Vancouver area where I live. My surgeon was Dr Leung. If you'd like further information, please just ask and I'd be happy to answer.

Gaffer, Square One is a large shopping mall, i have never been in it so i cannot tell you what it is like, some of the other ladies who know about it will fill you in on it later i am sure. Your wife is lucky to have you, i hate shopping but so does my husband.

Gaffer....ask & yee shall receive!!

Check it out: all the info on Square One at this site:

It really is a great mall; one of the largest within Toronto.

That is great that you love to shop....there are very few of you around! Thankfully, Mr Yoda LOOOOOOVES to shop & snoop in stores (admittedly, even moreso than I!). His Sister-in-law always says she married the "wrong" brother! LOL.

Have fun...and be sure to check out the mall....! (pssst, there is also a "playdium" across the street from the mall)!

meh... It does not appear that Square One has much that we dont have in Calgary. Besides, I'll shop here where there is no PST.

Gaffer,

You're right about that but some of the prices here are much cheaper even without PST. My son's in Calgary and we do some comparitive shopping - he loves to shop like his mom.

It's still worth checking out.

How'd you like 15% HST!!?!?! BAH!

[becca77 0]

Yes our 6% GST is nice compared to the rest of you Canucks!! My husband loves to shop too! Thats one of the things I love most about him!! So Gaffer and Mr. Yoda are not alone. I think alot of men like to shop but just don't admit it.
