Hello.. I live in thunder bay and am considering having the lap band procedure done in mexico. I am hoping to find people in Thunder Bay that have had this procedure done and can give me some advice. I dont know where I would go for fills or if they are dont in thunder bay.

Also, I am not what someone else might call obese. I am 5 foot 2 and 175 pounds. I have struggled with my weight my entire life and feel that this procedure is a good option for me. Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated(especially about where to go for fills)

Thanks

Hi

I am also in Thunder Bay and considering surgery in Mexico. In fact I'm hoping to get it pretty soon. I've been researching where to get fills. I am looking to have my surgery with Dr. Kuri and his fantastic nurse has given me several locations where to get fills done. Unfortunately the closest location is Minniapolis and several little towns around Minni. However for a "nominal" cost they will send your doctor the information on how to do the fill and your doctor can do that righ in thier office. Of course it wouldn't be covered by OHIP so we would probably be out of pocket a 100.00 or so per fill but that is cheaper than going to Minniapolis.

Which doctor are you thinking about getting it done with and do your friends and family think your insain too?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
