vangirl Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Hello. I am considering band surgery at OCC. Does anyone know a doctor in Ottawa, Montreal or Toronto Canada who will do a fill for a band done in Mexico. Many thanks Check out Northwest Fills management to see if there are any fill places listed. Otherwise, I might suggest going over to the Canadian forum at lapbandtalk, as there are a number of people in Ontario that post there, and they might know. -vangirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KristaFakaua Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 When I tried calling most places wanted 4,000 for the whole post op package. The CIBO clinic in Toronto agreed to do fills for me for 140 Canadian a pop. I still haven't had my first fill and i am debating whether to go to CIBO or make the EXPENSIVE trip back to the OCC at least for my first fill to make sure all is well. GOOD L CIBO clinic in Toronto agreed to do fills for me at 140 Canadian a fill. The other places all insisted that I join the whole post op plan for 4,000 to 5,000 bucks. I'm debating whether or not to return to the OCC for my first fill so they can have a good look at me and see how everything is going. My experience at the OCC was incredible...I can't say enough about the care I received and the facilities were top notch. I'm glad I went there for my surgery - I feel I had better care there than I would have had locally. Good luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsay Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 You can try calling these. This is a list Lori gave me.Ontario - Dr. Chris Cobourn 905-275-9283 Toronto - Dr. Jacobo Joffee & Dr. Patrick Yau - 416-920-4480 or 416-291-1900 I contacted the 2 in Toronto. OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive. OUTRAGEOUS. They all make it very very VERY expensive to get a fill, because you're not there client .. and honestly, they don't want to see you if they can help it. I ended up deciding to to go to one of the USA fill centre's ... Which is still extremely expensive - especially by the time you incorporate the exchange rate and the initial 'consultation fee'. but after i found about the 'pay now policy', i ran in the other direction - pre-paying before even setting foot in the clinic put a bad taste in my mouth. And when I asked if i could get a refund, should I decide I don't want to stay at the clinic after I walked in, i was told 'oh, no, we don't do that'. HA! I now have a request in at the obesity clinic at the NYU - I have a post on this. Please do a search under my screen name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
