Alberta - where are you getting your fills?



Recommended Posts

Hi. Sorry it took so long to answer.

I'm from norther BC but plan on my first fill Jan 27, 2009 at Grande Prairie as the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

I was banded in Mexico and Alberta and BC doctors that do fills will do them free of charge, regardless of where you were banded. (There may be an exception to this for the Eastern Canada trained Doctors willing to fill only Their own clinics patients, I'm not sure).

Which part of Alberta are you from? There are quite a few that fill in different areas. Please let us know where.

Hope this helps.

I'm in Edmonton, but willing to go pretty much anywhere. So, if I have a prescription from my doc the fills are free? Are you getting yours free in Grand Prairie??

Yes they are free at Grande Prairie, Queen Elizabeth Hosp. with Dr. Jim, a Radioligist. Because he is a specialist, you will need a doctor referral. I phoned in advance of booking an appointment to make sure they would except an out of province and Mexico banded patient. NO Problem.

FYI there is also a doctor in St. Albert that does fills. Dr. Daviduck (780)460-4562.

Also Dr. Mitchell in Calgary (403)264-6720. He was training someone in Edmonton last time I heard. Call his office and check it out.

Good Luck. Weigh to Go on pounds already lost!!!

Hi Unsure,

I haven't talked to you in a long time, I hope all is well with you! :laugh:

I am getting my fills in Edmonton, the Dr. was just recently trained by my clinic that I had the surgery at. I think that he only does fills for them. I am getting a defill today and I will try to get some info for you. I will PM you later.

Take Care

Thanks so much!! It would be wonderful if I could get them done in Edmonton... even if it's a bit of money... it's either pay for the convenience of having it in Edmonton, or drive somewhere and pay in gas :laugh:

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
