Ontario Banders...



Recommended Posts

:( Hi everyone, I'm doing my research on a couple of the Lap Band options in the GTA and wondering if anyone out there can share any (pos or neg) experiences that might help me decide which one to go with.

I am from Alberta, but was banded by Dr. Coburn in Missasauga.

I personally thought the experince with Dr. Coburn was great. I did not really look into other clinics since I had an immediate confidence with Dr. Coburn.

Also, now they are in their new clinic which is way nicer than thier old one apparently.

I have heard great things about the TLBC as well. It is just a matter of personal preferance.

Look in the Canadian section on this site. There are several people in there that have been banded by the Ontario Dr.s. You will likely get several answers there.

I just had my consult with the Toronto Lapband Centre in Yorkville. I decided to go ahead and am just now waiting for my surgery date.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
