considering Lap-Band Surgery
Hi Erin
I talked to Dr. M about the lap band surgery.
The only problem with it is. You see the doctor regularly
The band is filled with some type of fluid. You are always at the
Doctors to have fluid added or removed. Things could get stuck
in the band. So you have to see him to have fluid removed. Dr M told me that they don`t do it here( Vancouver ) but he hopes to do it soon. In other words not much of a chance of it happing
any soon than the gastric by pass. The internet has a lot of good
sites to look at.

Hi Erin,
Take a look at the post below on the board asked by Mary Mackie on 10/12/06 where she asked the same question. You have to self pay and there are fills you have to do frequently. Hope that helps.
The best advice I can give you is to do your homework and check out all procedures to see which one is best for you. At least you won't have to wait very long. Good luck and keep us posted.
