Bobbi Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I am from Vanderhoof BC canada and am wondering where I would go to get a fill nerest to me? Anyone out there from up here or know of any info?? I don't know where Vanderhoof is, but the nearest place that I can think of for you is in Arlington, WA. Probably to far for you to go, but that is who I use. They are wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittycat Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I found out the closest city to you is Prince George, tried searching everything I could and no luck. How far is Washington from you? Another banded friend of mine goes there from Surrey BC. Good Luck! Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musiclover Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I am from Vanderhoof BC canada and am wondering where I would go to get a fill nerest to me? Anyone out there from up here or know of any info?? I live just outside of Kelowna and I go to Dr. Woodhead in Delta/Ladner. He wasn't accepting new patients that had their surgery in Mexico last time I heard but it would be worth a try because when I went for a fill he was amazed at how easy the port was to fill. The whole thing took maybe 15 minutes. There is also a few Doctors in Calgary that do fills as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Had to google map to find out where you are: drive to the middle of no where, turn left and drive some more. lol Have you tried Grande Prairie? I think someone there does fills at the hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hello there. I am in Victoria and am also attempting to arrange postop care and lap band fills here in BC. There are no physicians that I can find who will do the fills; however, I spoke with Dr. Cobourn from the Obesity Clinic in Toronto just today (July 16th) and he trained a nurse here in Victoria to do the fills. I have her name and email address somewhere, and in fact just messaged her tonight to set up initial contact and verify if she is the right person. I also asked if she is willing to take on patients other than those of Dr. Cobourn, and what she charges for a fill. I can let you know once I receive a reply. If you want to chat, my number at home is 250-294-0305. Best regards, Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vangirl Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hi, I am in Vancouver, BC, and considering getting surgery at OCC. One of the main areas of concern I have is post-op care, as it would be difficult for me to travel to Mexico several times for fills (or unfills) or whatever else may happen. To my fellow BC'ers, I was wondering if you would mind sharing what your experiences have been with getting the surgery in Mexico and obtaining post-op care in BC or nearby. I want to make sure that I have follow-up care taken care of before taking the plunge. Thanks! Vangirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Linda That looks like the closest location to me as well. The Dr. (Woodhead) that was previously doing fills for people out here apparently isn't anymore.

Hello Music Lover, I live in Langley and will need to find a fill Dr. for some time in January when I will need the first fill. My surgery date is the day after Christmas( YUK) anyway, if you could give me the contact details of the Dr. in Surrey that would be perfect location for me. How much did he charge you? Let me know if you can any details you have. Thanks Rhonda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
