Hi joel

My husband and I have lapbands and live in Ontario. Our daughter is looking into getting lapband in Saskatchewan where she lives. The closest place is Regina.

Where are you? What other clinics are there in Saskatchewan? Where can you get fills in Saskatchewan? any places in or near Prince Albert?

Hi there, just thought I would let you know there is more support now more than ever! There is a facility specializing in post-op care in Regina. Meals, lodging, nursing care(dressing changes and assistance with drains, etc.) and transportation to and from surgery area. This place is amazing. Here is the website: www.serenityconvalescentcare.com.

Hi sherik. Have you heard anything about the aspen lapband clinic in Regina? Or any news at all related to Saskatchewan lapband groups? I'm in Saskatoon, just one month banded and am looking for more local support. Had my surgery in Mississauga with Chris Cobourn.

Oh a nurse in saskatoon for fills? Where is she located? I go to north battleford

[Paigepatches 17]

Don't know who she is yet....I haven't had a fill but hope to fairly soon.

Don't know who she is yet....I haven't had a fill but hope to fairly soon.

Her name is Lorna King. She did my fills for Dr. Cobourn. Her website is sasksurgicalsolutions.ca. I am going back to TO on Monday for a band removal. Considering next step options of a RNY.
