Hi Lorna--sorry to hear you are struggling. I am not sure about your area...the only one I know is the Edmonton clinic weight wise. I hope you find some help. I heard that the weight wise clinic has a new part of the clinic being devoted to revisions.
...let us know how you make out.


You can either believe it will happen...or believe it won't both are self fulfilled prophesies

Hi Lorna,

I am in need of a revision too and I have waited 6 years for someone to help me. I saw an article in the Edmonton paper about a lady who had a revision with a Dr. Shazeer Karmali here in Edmonton and I emailed him and he replied right away. I called his clinic and got my doctor to call for a referral and although I had to wait about 3 months to hear anything I was sent for blood tests and a gastroscopy and I have an appointment with the surgeon on the 24th of July. What this means I don't know but I am hopeful. Go to this site:

hope this helps
