Edmonton Fill Doctor?

Hi All,

Does anyone know of a Doctor in Edmonton who does fills and adjustments for LAP-BAND® patients who had the procedure performed in Mexico.

Have not had contact with Dr Daniel Birch yet.
Dr Doug Davey only does his own patients.
I will also try Dr Mitchell in Calgary.

Thanks,
Dana

I know that Dr. Mitchell in Calgary will do your fill for you.

Let me see if I can find one in Edmonton for you though. I have a freind who may know.

Called Dr Daviduck, he only does patients of Dr Coburn.

I have called Dr Mitchell in Calgary and signed up with him. He will be fine till I go home to New Zealand.

Thanks for helping, everyone!

Dana

Sorry about not getting back to you about. I have not been able to contact my friend about this as she has been away.

Good luck with Dr, Mitchell.

May I ask you who did your band in Mexico?

Andrew

There are a few docs here that do the Toronto bands here, why would you fly back and forth. Don't know any that touch Mexican bands, but I did find one who will do mine from Denver.

Hi Cindy, Sorry I was a bit slack getting back to you! I have just been down to Calgary to see Dr Mitchell. I have been getting my fills from him. He seems to be happy with the fact that I had mine done in Mexico. He now charges $150, and I think he is planning to expand his time. He used to only do fills on a Tuesday or Thursday from 4 to 5pm. But he has been so busy that the time frame is now greater. I will go down in May for a 1:30pm appointment! That means we get home in daylight. Any other queries, I should be online till we head for home for 3 weeks. I can tell you the warmth in New Zealand is calling loudly! Dana

I tried to call Dr. Daviduk (St. Albert) he is nolonger at that clinic His new # is 780-470-3825 The receptionist at his old clinic says that unless things have changed -- he only did fills for Dr. Cobourn.

What is Dr. Mitchell Like ? (Calgary) That is my bigest fear -- Having the LAP-BAND® in Mexico and not finding anyone to fill it here.

I thought this might help you. I get my fills (for free), was banded in Mexico, by Dr. Jim at the Grande Prairie Hosp. He's a radioligist, does many of them (perfectly under flouro). You will need a doctor referral though. I didn't have to wait that long. Good luck

Try Dr. Hartman I got mine done in Denver. He checks out the doctor to see if they are any good before he will do the fills. Luckily I went to an "EXPERT" who specializes in laproscopic surgery.
