Hey there, just wanted to tell you I got my Operation in Drummondville which is about 45 minutes to 1hour from Montreal. I was operated Monday Nov 26 and it's now thursday.Tommorow will be day 5 and I feel pretty good. I noticed you were 23 so your one of the youngest people that had this operation. I am fortunate to have gotten it at the age of 18!! alright well bye for now and hope to talk to you :)

I had my surgery with Dr. Christeau at the Royal Vic. It went well. I had it 1.5 years ago, and have lost to date 200.8 lbs. I am almost at goal. I started running a year ago. I have done a half marathon and plan to do a 30 km run in Ontario in the spring.

I feel fortunate to have been so lucky with this... no complications at all.

Hi All:

I cannot say what the experience is like however I will be banded in Montreal on January 24th. The name of the Doctor is Steven Miller and the private clinic is called SPA DIVA Medical on Peel Street. The cost is $16,000 and it is not covered by OHIP so..... I will be in debt for awhile however, I have been reading through all these posts and everyone sounds very positive about the procedure so I hope to experience the same. If anyone knows of this doctor and can give me more information, I would appreciate it. I have only met him once at a seminar, my consultation is on January 10th and they have already given me my surgery date. I will keep you posted after the consultation on further thoughts.:clap2:

Somogyi1, how did your operation go? I'm thinking of getting banded at SPA Dive Medical too and was wondering if you'd like to share your experience with them.

Thanks!

I did not have my surgery in Montreal, but I went to a bandster meeting here with a man who did. I'm not sure of the exact hospital, but he said the cost was..oh gosh..$6000? $7000? Something very small like that. And all he had to cover out of that was the cost of the band, not the surgery or hospital stay. It sounded like the doctor was very good and his patients were often called to check on their progress. He also does his fills under fluro. I should have gotten the Dr's name so I could tell people...shoot.

Surgery Date: Nov 2, 2007 (TLBC - Dr. Yau)

I had my surgery in Longueuil (10 km from Montréal).

lizzie the man you met had is surgery in the public systeme so he paid only the band it self but he had to wait a long time to get his surgery.

I was also on the public systeme ma band cost me 5 500$ and I was on the waiting list for 3 years before I could meet and talk to my doctor. Then I had to wait another 12 months to get my surgery.

For people who don't want to wait there's the private systeme and then the cost of the surgery is between 16 000 and 18 000 and there's almost no waiting time, more like a month to meet the doctor and one ro two month to get the surgery after the meeting with the doctor.
