StephanieRaye 0 Posted January 10, 2006 Anyone gone there? I'm in Birmingham, AL and I'm having a hard time finding a fill doc for the mexican banded (I know, I know... I should've done that beforehand) and I heard they did. Any info is appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banded14yr 2 Posted January 10, 2006 I see Dr. Houston for my fills. He's the only one that I know of that will fill patients that were banded in Mexico in this area. I have two friends that drive from Huntsville to Nashville for fills because they can't find anyone in Alabama that will give adjustments if you were banded in Mexico.

StephanieRaye 0 Posted January 10, 2006 Tricia, How much do they charge? Is it under fluoro? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banded14yr 2 Posted January 10, 2006 Stephanie, I would call his office and ask to speak with Gina Elkins. She arranges all of the fill appointments and can give you a breakdown on price. He sees you in his office, then you go a block away to Centennial Hospital for your fill using Flouro. http://www.cmcwls.com/houston.php Hope this helps! Good luck!

And the support groups are great. Good Luck on finding a Dr Kim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luvbnanurse 1 Posted January 1, 2008 Dr Morton at Baptist(Nashville) is my doctor and while I was in there one day he was mentioning to his nurse the girl before me had hers done in Mexico so he must see patients that had them done in Mexico. Good luck it is just an option for you to try, I can't tell you for sure but that is what I heard him saying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GipsyGirl 6 Posted November 17, 2010 I was banded by Dr Houston at Centennial center for the treatment of obesity - it was a great experience. I lost 30lbs in my first 5 weeks. Already had my first fill but do not feel much restriction. He added 2cc to my 10cc band. I do recommend him. Oh, and his secretary was banded too so she know how to help. All I need now is to find support groups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
