I was originally banded April 2010.  The band later lipped and had to be removed.  I was re-banded Aug. 10, 2011.  So far so good except I need a small fill and SB will not honor the 4 year post op follow up.  They say that the 4 year post op follow on starts with my original surgery date of Apr 2010..what a bunch (I would/could say more but the saying goes ...if you have nothing nice to say...shut up) now to mention that my Surgeon who did both my surgeries has been let go for ill practice.  Just wondering if anyone knows of a Doctor in the Ottawa area who would be willing to give me a small fill?  SB would...but I need to pay $1,500 for 6 months!!!

Hi, That is so ridiculous!I hope you can find someone to do your fills. You can also go to lapband.com and find someone in your area. Let us know what happens. Mona

Don't you have state health care in Canada? I had my band done privately here in the UK but now, at almost 9 years post-op, the National Health Service has taken over my care. Could you get the same? 

yes we do have state health care in Canada, but this procedure is outside that scope.
