Hi, im terri.  I had my surgery on may 16th, 2011.  It's time for me to get my first fill, but....the Dr i was refered to is no longer taking on new lap band patients.  I already spoke to the ppl associated with the facility where i had my surgery done, they refered me here. 
Is there anyone in Manitoba that is getting fills that could recommend a place for me to see if i can get in too? 
I am finding i am loosing weight with the lap band, i don't want to gain it all back cause of this.  there has to be a way.

Hi Terri,

I was looking into getting the lap-band a year ago. ( I ended up getting the sleeve) I, like you, had a really hard time finding someone to do the fills. The closest I found was in the states. Google "fillcenters.usa" If I was going to get the lapband I was going to have to go to Minneapolis to get a fill. Maybe there is a closer fill center now, but last year that was the closest one.

Good Luck!

I know that Dr. Lorraine Hilderman at the Markham clinic is trained to do Lapband fills. I also wonder if someone at the Maples Clinic would be able to help you out. Perhaps they will only do fills for their own patients? I don't know. Good luck!

Try Grand Forks they have a lap band bariatric program there. It started with an A, can't recall the name of it. I just googled bariatric surgery Grand Forks.
They may do it for you!
