Hi Everyone,

Just wondering...I am attending my surgical education class next week and I was wondering what site in Toronto the people who do all their appointments at Windsor go to? I was told that Toronto is potentially the only location who will remove my lap band and do another surgery in ONE surgery.

Thanks :)

I believe it would be Toronto Western... as that is the only one doing them now in toronto... Don't think they are doing surgeries at the other hospitals anymore...

I'm also with the Windsor clinic and had a choice of St Michaels or Michael Garrent Hospital, I was told as of last October they no longer send people to TWH, however i am not sure if the cir****tances are different due to having the band, as I have heard TWH will do the removal at the same time as the surgery where other hospitals do it in 2 surgeries.

Thanks, I have talked to him, but I wasn't sure, because I had read something about Windsor no longer sending people to TWH
