Considering Banding-Need more info please!!!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, I am considering banding as Maples Surgical Centre in Winnipeg. A really huge concern for me is the money. I was wondering if anyone has gone through financial institutions for the loan, I know the clinic offers some programs for financing but I am concerned I may not be approved. I hate that it is not covered and it is so expensive.

Also, if anyone has personal experience from Maples I would love to hear that as well.

I would love to hear anything has to say to me, except mean things, thanks!!!

Take care!!!

I'm in Toronto, so I can't offer any advice re Manitoba clinics or financing options - but I just wanted to say congratulations on your decision to get banded.

This was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I'm thrilled with the results.

Hi Bethy, I just had lapband surgery at the Maples clinic. I didn't go the finance route so I don't know what the terms are. I would suggest that you call and ask to speak to Jen she is the coordinator for the lapband surgeries. I'm sure she would be able to point you in the right direction to see what you would need to get qualified. I don't get my first fill till Mar. 17th but so far I'm feeling very positive about having had the surgery. Good luck with whatever you decide!:sneaky:

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