Does anyone know where you can get fills in Toronto? To make a very long story short, the clinic that did my lapband procedure is in 'chaos' and I need to find someone to do a fill.

I am guessing you were with Toronto Lapband turned Slimband turned closed. Did a quick search and came up with https://www.obesitysurgery.ca/about/our-facilities/ .

There is a Lapband forum that you can also try asking in.

Correct, Slimband.

The place you are recommending wants $5K to take on patients. :(

I think you are going to be hard-pressed to find someone unfortunately. I would honestly just try googling and calling everywhere. Some place is going to try to capitalize on Slimband going down. You also won't likely find any new ones popping up in Ontario (and quite honestly hopefully no where) as studies are now showing 80% failure and almost 100% after 10 years.

You could try talking to your doctor as it is only 1cc at a time but they will likely also charge you if they are willing.

Sorry, it is a ****ty situation everyone is in.

Slimband is still servicing their existing patients or so they claim. For $300 you can have a 1 cc fill (despite the fact I have a contract that says free fills for life).

However, its all so sketchy - they are doing everything by email. They won't answer phone calls. If you call and leave a message, they will respond to you via email.

I had a fill appointment booked but you can't even call them with your credit card information. They want you to email your credit card info. Just doesn't feel right to me.
