Edmonton Fill Doctor?



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Does anyone know of a Doctor in Edmonton who does fills and adjustments for lap band patients who had the procedure performed in Mexico.

Have not had contact with Dr Daniel Birch yet.

Dr Doug Davey only does his own patients.

I will also try Dr Mitchell in Calgary.

Thanks,

Dana:rolleyes:

Called Dr Daviduck, he only does patients of Dr Coburn.

I have called Dr Mitchell in Calgary and signed up with him. He will be fine till I go home to New Zealand.

Thanks for helping, everyone!

Sorry about not getting back to you about. I have not been able to contact my friend about this as she has been away.

Good luck with Dr, Mitchell.

May I ask you who did your band in Mexico?

There are a few docs here that do the Toronto bands here, why would you fly back and forth. Don't know any that touch Mexican bands, but I did find one who will do mine from Denver.

Hi Cindy, Sorry I was a bit slack getting back to you! I have just been down to Calgary to see Dr Mitchell. I have been getting my fills from him. He seems to be happy with the fact that I had mine done in Mexico. He now charges $150, and I think he is planning to expand his time. He used to only do fills on a Tuesday or Thursday from 4 to 5pm. But he has been so busy that the time frame is now greater. I will go down in May for a 1:30pm appointment! That means we get home in daylight. Any other queries, I should be online till we head for home for 3 weeks. I can tell you the warmth in New Zealand is calling loudly! Dana

I tried to call Dr. Daviduk (St. Albert) he is nolonger at that clinic His new # is 780-470-3825 The receptionist at his old clinic says that unless things have changed -- he only did fills for Dr. Cobourn.

What is Dr. Mitchell Like ? (Calgary) That is my bigest fear -- Having the Lapband in Mexico and not finding anyone to fill it here.

I thought this might help you. I get my fills (for free), was banded in Mexico, by Dr. Jim at the Grande Prairie Hosp. He's a radioligist, does many of them (perfectly under flouro). You will need a doctor referral though. I didn't have to wait that long. Good luck

Try Dr. Hartman I got mine done in Denver. He checks out the doctor to see if they are any good before he will do the fills. Luckily I went to an "EXPERT" who specializes in laproscopic surgery.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
