Lap Band Fill in the GTA

I hope someone can help me I am in dire need. I had lap band surgery and the company I used in Toronto went bankrupt. I have had little success over the years with it but recently have lost 30 pounds and I know I will need a fill soon. I have been searching for weeks for a doctor or a nurse in the GTA that does fills and does't charge a yearly fee. I am looking for someone who charges by the fill. I paid over 18K for the surgery and unlimited fills for life. Well that didn't last too long since they went brankrupt shortly after.

I live in the Durham Region but I will travel if I have to! Is there anyone that does fills and defills in the gta??

I know some GPs do provide fills. I know they are normally around $300 a fill from what I have heard.

Revision on 10/04/16

exact same thing happened to me. the band ended up costing me over 43k I estimate between the original surgery defills and eventual revision...I'm pretty sure it was slimband i called to do my final de-fill before i started researching revision. they just charged me for the de-fill. if memory serves it was around $300.

sorry you got suckered as well.
