ritu-ru 0 Posted January 24, 2009 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!

Fill Centers USA - Lap Band Fill - Lap Band Support - Lap Band Post Surgery - Weight Loss Surgery - Fill Center USA - LapBand Adjustments - Bariatric Surgery - LapBand Fill In Detroit...

to-be-slim 0 Posted March 24, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildfire 0 Posted March 24, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tango 0 Posted March 30, 2009 Do not go to TLBC they provide terrible post operative care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tango 0 Posted March 30, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

to-be-slim 0 Posted March 30, 2009 Can you give me the info for the nurse from Toronto that will do fills for patients from Mexico? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kintime 0 Posted August 22, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
