Thanks for your response. Were you able to research your doctor at all? I am not having much luck finding board certification type information in the Domincan Republic. The surgury is $7650. They work with www.fillcentersusa.com for fills and there is a location local to me. In some ways I would prefer a bariatric center for the fills, but I am aware of what you say--that they may not accept me as a patient. Did you get a fill while you were in Mexico or did you wait until you came back to the US? Thanks again.
