Hi, I'm from Saskatoon, banded in Tijuana Mexico, jan 25/08. So far down 40+ lbs! I have had one fill so far from Michelle Wright excellent job, $75.00 a fill. You can reach her at 306-244-7004 or at fillcentresaskatoon@sasktel.net or www.fillcentresaskatoon.sasktelwebsite.net
Getting banded was the best thing I ever did, with I had done it 25 yrs ago.

I've been banded for 2 years, done at TLBC in Toronto, I have no regrets. My family doctor does my fills for me. Although I've felt rather alone with the band here in SK and have never actually seen my surgeon since my surgery date, I find a lot of support and great advice on here and have great phone support from the staff at TLBC.

Who was your surgeon in Mexico and why there?

Hi,
I chose Mexico because of the cost 7500.00 vs 20,000.00 in Toronto. I had a lower bmi so I would have never been considered for surgery here in Canada . My surgeon was Dr. Ramos-Kelly.

Hi,
Michelle Wright is actually an RN in S'toon.
What clinic does Dr. Corvala work out of?
