Doxielover 0 Posted September 6, 2007 :welcome: Mine was done by Dr. Cobourn in Mississauga. I had a lot of complications from a previous cancer surgery, so that is why I opted for him, in case I needed emergency aftercare. It was $16,000, it was done on August 15th and went off without a hitch. I am really happy with the aftercare too. They have fantastic nurses and a dietitian that follows up regularly. Here is a link to lapbandtalk's Canadian portion of the forum which has lots of great threads, I found it super helpful before I decided on the band and Dr. Cobourn.

clancy 0 Posted September 7, 2007 I was banded Aug. 16 by Dr. L Tin, chief of surgery at Credit Valley Hospital in Mississauga for $15,000 which includes fills. I was released from hospital the same day. There isn't any dietician or nutritionist followup but Dr. Tin was very helpful about eating etc. I think I can find out anything I need to know about diet from this forum.
