Any Las Vegas people out there?
hootiebelle replied to Meow=^..^='s topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
We now have a fill center listed in NV I believe Ortiz is one of the company founders....I e-mailed and there is no floro.....Dr Teng may see you after reading your op report...Dr Fisher is crazy with the money he wants as a surcharge........I still want floro but here is the link to fillcenters usa http://www.fillcentersusa.com/ -
Reasonably priced Drs in the US for Self payers?
hootiebelle replied to VABandster's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Koala I didn't go to Fisher ...... I went to Mexico to DR Joya..... the 3000 surcharge Dr Fisher charges may not be legal and I am looking into that.......I live in Las Vegas and I have have spoke to people where he was nasty in his tone about Mexican docs.....he would be the last person to give me a fill........but I must say he is a good doc ......... -
wow bummer I am so sorry,,,,,,,if he did it on Sept 6th 3 weeks later would be your vegas trip.......and you should be back on real food by then I am sure you will feel good...... Even if it is still mushys trust me I live here in Vegas they have all kinds of food......I think the 6th will still be ok........

Has anyone used Dr. Joya, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico?
hootiebelle replied to girlfriend's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
If it is Dr. Joya he has a specific plan.....Gerald his man who handles this stuff would have given you the outline way before a week to go............If it is someone other than DR Joya they would give you their instructions....each Dr. has different pre op instructions....Some .... not all .......would tell you to go on a 2 week liquid diet...you need to ask your specific dr -
I should have paid more attention when my son took Spanish last year.....well due to his grade he gets to repeat it........It would be fantastic language to know.....On the West coast you would have ample time to use it

Sé que lo mezcla para arriba... deseo de..I que podría hablar español And I reversed translated that ....lol it almost makes sense.......
-
¡Pienso que es grande que la gente puede fijar en español puesto que a tales grandes doctores mexicanos han congregado tan muchos de nosotros!!! ¡No hablo español sino que deseo que lo hice!!! Me congregaron en Puerto Vallarta 6-12 y he sido muy feliz con mi experiencia

Poll: What did you do after your Band removal?
hootiebelle replied to fabfatgrl's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I know the Dr that put mine in charges 6000 to remove the band....Someone asked on his message board once and that was ther answer they gave......He is a great doc.... -
Hey 3LOVES thanks for the advice ps 3 loves I am not here to have you start a argument with me....please let me be:kiss2:
-
Dody you were all over the girls eating dinner the night before their bands in Mexico a couple weeks ago......so I can't believe you wouldn't follow your American doctors orders since you claimed the hospital was one of the best in the USA....come on girl you yourself have enough posts under your band to know the rules....
-
I think Dr Joya does this in Mexico.....I had a band but he also does this here is his link...he is a great doc....clean clean hospital http://www.drjoya.com/gastricsleeve.html is this what you are talking about?

Has anyone used Dr. Joya, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico?
hootiebelle replied to girlfriend's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I used Dr. Joya also ..... love him......Pelo I tried to find that info when I was researching and they were posts from 2003!!!!! And no one had the real info....I went to Joya and would go again in a hot minute he has a great team and works out of a clean and real hospital not a clinic..........I went because my primary care had gone to him we have the same insurance that does not cover lap band.........and she went with me it was great all the way -
Joined PB Club - Please REVOKE membership!
hootiebelle replied to barbara465's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I joined the PB club today also...I was eating raw almonds maybe they were too dry I got that golfball feeling .....no pain...... so I drank water and next thing I knew it just all came up with no effort and I now know what slime is.......I have never had a fill yet so when I get one I think I may not need much.........thank goodness I had a towel in my hand ( I do hair) It would have been more embarassing -
