I had my surgery in Mexico, but I'm in need of a fill. It's been a year, and I'm still losing weight but it's verrrrryyyy slooooow. And I get full, but I don't stay full for very long at all - maybe 20 minutes.

Anyway, I was going to Mexico for my aftercare, but now that a passport is required, and I have to drive 3-4 hours (I live near Odessa, TX), plus arrange transport from/into Mexico, which is another $110, I've decided it would be easier, quicker, and cheaper to get fills in Dallas.

Does anyone know of a doctor in the DFW area that will do a fill under fluoro on a Mexico surgery? Please please please let me know! Thanks!

You might call Dr. Adam Smith in Forth Worth. Qualify For Fort Worth LAP-BAND® Weight Loss Surgery

He does the fills with x-ray right in the office. Not sure if he'll do fills on mexican bands, but it's worth a shot.

Dr. Smith is partnered with True Results.... They have an office in Hurst, which would be about an hour closer than the Richardson office. They are who I did all of my insurance work through before they handed me off to Dr. Smith.

I see Dr. Kim in Colleyville. All of my fills have been with fluoro and haven't had any problems. Their number is 581-6100.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
