Any fill docs in OK take mexico patients?
sarahstarjd replied to sarahstarjd's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
The actual plane ride was no biggie, buy some liquid dramamine and drink it before you get on the plane, you'll sleep through the whole thing. But make sure you take it before because the bottle is more than 3 oz so if they catch it when they search your carryon then they will make you toss it. We had to change planes and our gate was on the other end of DFW so that super long walk was really hard and it wore me out. I stopped at Starbucks and got some hot water to mix in a boullion cube but by the time I made it I had lost my appetite! Im doing ok, I didn't get my fill amount right until 2 weeks ago. It's tough eating pretty much only protein since I am such a carbo! I have lost 23 lbs so far, but haven't started exercising yet. It's going a lot slower than I had hoped but it is steady! Good Luck to you! -

I go to Paris, TX to get my fills, it's a hell of a drive but I can't find anyone in okc to do it, and the doctor in Tulsa, Dr. Kirk, I think? wants nearly 600.00 to do a fill. The place I go to it called Red River Valley Radiology www.rrvr.net They charge 350.00 for a fill and gaurantee it for 10 days, if you need more or less you can come back within the 10 days and get it for a $50 tray fee. They do all fills under flouroscopy. I hope this helps! -
I am feeling good, though my stomach is still pretty sore and my steristrips still haven't fallen off. How are you doing?

Hi Corliss! I made it back from Monterrey in one piece! I've been a total wreck and haven't gotten to the computer the past few days. I thought I had a little higher tolerance for pain! Anyway, thanks for your support and I hope to chat with you soon. P.S. Dr. Zapata is so nice!!

Oh man! Me too! I still can't decide if I'm more nervous or excited. I keep reading the message boards to get inspiration from all the losers.
