I just tried to book an appointment with Dr. Mitchell in Calgary and he is now charging $5000.00 for a 5 year commitment....If I had an extra $5000.00 kicking around I wouldn't have left the country to have it done in the first place.

Any suggestions as to who else does fills with out costing an extra $5000.000?!?! I live in Edmonton but will be travelling to get fills.

Thanks

Great lady. Lorna King.. She is a R.N. 75.00 each fill. Plus she has the band. As well She hosts a support meeting in Saskatoon. www.sasksurgicalsolutions.com/ 306 373 1879. hope that helps

It would be great to see a medical professional that really knows what it "really" like since they have/are going through the same thing. Once again a huge THANKS!

No, I have not found anyone closer.

More and more doctors all across Canada have been advised to not treat people who have gone out of country to have the procedure done.

I am going to Saskatoon on the 10th for my first fill. I am driving this time, if it goes well I will keep my eye on seat sales! The RN doing it seems to have schedule flexibility, not just Monday to Friday 9-5 so that is a plus, since have of the battle going anywhere are business hours.

I can let you know how it goes if it helps any.

sug3435 Edmonton, Canada Member Since: 06/17/08 [Latest Posts]	Post Date: 10/3/08 6:48 pm I personally have not called and tried to make an appointment for a fill. However, I have read on several different posts that you have to be a member/patient of the Weight Wise Clinic to have the fills done by Dr. Birch or Dr. Davey.

I also called Dr. Mitchell in Calgary and was told the same thing. I want to have a plan in place for fills before I have the surgery done in Mexico. Cassandra
