Long2BFree, I didnt realize you were having surgery in a little over a week. I wish you well. Where are you having surgery at?

My Dr is in TJ, but it's a 5-6 hour drive one way depending on traffic, w/gas $4.56 a gallon and the pain of cross the border, I'd love to find someone just a bit closer in CA. I was really hoping there would be someone locally for me or at least maybe someone in SF or Sacramento. Wishing you well and safe travel.

I've heard of Dr Felix as far as I know he won't do a fill on patients, that weren't his originally. I know he has an extremely busy practice, people come from all over for his help. But it doesn't hurt to ck again. Thanks

Hello Everyone, I'm looking for a fill Dr in Central or Northern Calif if at all possible. I'm a Mexio patient and not having very good luck locally. All info is appreciated!! Thank you!!:biggrin:

Thank you for the information, I'll be sure and ck out the web site!

Hello to all, I had my surgery 10/2001 in TJ, MX, my surgeon was Dr. Kuri. Dr. Kuri and his Staff are great. Recovery was quick and my weight loss was gradual but good, I took off 75lbs and felt great. I had 2 fill's w/in my first 2 yrs, and then due to circumstances beyond my control, I wasn't able to get to TJ for further follow-up. I gradually put some of my weight back on, tried to find a Dr state side that could provide fills, but was unsuccessful, since my surgery was done on the other side of the border. After speaking w/a friend about her GBP surgery, she asked me if I had every found someone to help me out, and if I had done any more research for a fill Dr. I decided to get online and see if there was anything new, and located this wonderful site. I'm still searching for more info on Dr's that do fills, but the prospect seems more promising. Within the last 3 yrs, I got married, had a beautiful son (1st child), thankfully no complications w/my pregnancy and my band. I actually lost 40lbs w/my pregnancy. But, unfortunately, I've put all my original weight back on since my son's birth, and I really would like to be able to find a Dr closer to me that could help me. I have a 2yr old that runs circles, which I would like to be able to keep up with, and I'd like to be around for. If anyone has any info or suggestions regarding fill Dr's in California, please let me know. Thanks!:thumbup:
