I am looking for a fill nurse in or close to Vancouver British Columbia that is willing to do a fill for any bandster irregardless of which clinic they were operated on. Doddie:help:

Doddie, try Dr Woodhead in Ladner.

He charges $400 for an initial consultation and fill (yikes!) and $75 for fills thereafter.

I was banded in Mexico and he's who I see for fills.

Hi Devana. Thank you. I am thrilled you responded. I will make a note of his name and contact him. I don't mind the $400.00 it is a lot cheaper than going to Toronto. Again thanks. Doddie

Hi Devana. Just checking in. Saw Dr. Woodhead and he could not get a fill in my port. He thought it had flipped and referred me back to Toronto. It was not flipped just at an awkward angle. I see him again July 12. If he can't get the fill in I imagine I will have to fly back to TO for fills. Also, someone posted on the net he is not longer taking another doctor's patients. Quote "he doesn't like fiddling with other doctor's surgery". Don't know if it is true but will ask on July 12th. Doddie

I am in Fort St John, BC and looking for someone close by to do fills!

I can't even find anyone else who has a band that lives around here.

Please help!!

[so done with it all 1]

SWLC has doctors/nurses trained all over the country to do fills for their patients. Since you were banded there, you should contact the nurses and find out where the nearest one to you is. They are always looking for more all over as well so if you happen to find one in your area, just let them know and they will train them.

The only place that does fills from the SWLC in my area is in Sexsmith, AB which is a 3 hour drive away.

I talked to the nurses at SWLC and said they will train any doctors who are willing to come down for training. I will have to beg my doctor here to go get trained on fills. LOL.

I was just wondering if the other clinics have people closer to me that may do fills from someone outside of their clinic.

Correction: No TLBC Fill Nurse for BC

TLBC fill nurse visiting BC next month will NOT DO FILLS FOR ANYONE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE TLBC.

There was a misunderstanding on the post that indicated for a fee she would do fills. However, the intent was for the Lions Gate Support Group no one else.

Yes. Check the website Northwestfills.com. Two nurses from Seattle do fills for out of state bandsters.
