Fills in Toronto, Ontario



Recommended Posts

I heard of a Dr. Gutauskus in Ottawa fills any band for approx $75. He doesn't take a lot of patients, but you can try him. I was banded in Mx w/ Dr. Ortiz on Oct 30 and got my first fill there a month ago. I need another fill and can't afford too go back so am also exploring my options. Good luck!

Do you mean you have not seen Dr. Gutauskas? Do you know who in Detroit?

I am considering Mexico for the lapband but I cannot find a fill doctor in Toronto, Ontario that is not an outrageous price. Can anyone help? I dont have the money to get this done in Canada and I need to find a fill doctor before I go ahead and get it done in Mexico.

Please see my previous response.

Fill Centers US will see you.

I was banded in TJ with Dr. Ortiz. He was wonderful. I took a flight from Buffalo... From Detroit you would be able to get a direct flight to San Diego.< /p>

Best of luck.

I know that the CIBO clinic offers an unlimited fills and de fills post operative care package you can try them. Otherwise some family doctors do it but I am not sure if they are covered by OHIP. The Nurse option that someone mentions if they are not part of a clinic sounds like a great option. It is such a simple thing to do.

just wanted everyone to know that I called the SWLC and you need to have a consult $200,then you can only have an Inamed band and if he decides to take you as a patient the it will cost $5,000 for after care. As for fills, I'm leaning towards detroit, Montreal could be a possability as well.

Are you serious? At that rate, I'd rather have a Tummy Tuck. I just moved from NYC to Toronto and am looking to get a fill. It would still be cheaper for me to fly to NY everytime I need a fill. There has to be a place to get a fill. What about general doctors? Nurses? Lol, shoot at 5k we could fill each other. I've never heard of such a thing. These people are in the business of making money, they don't care about people's lives. I'm stillin shock.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
