I too am looking for a fill doctor in Houston area. Dr Rumbaut is who I intend to use for my surgery but I want someone in Houston for after-care or for fills. I have contacted Dr. Rumbaut's office today to see if they can recommend someone as their web site says they have many doctors in the US that will see their patients for fills, etc. Haven't heard back yet. Anyone have any ideas?

I was banded by Dr. Rumbaut on Feb 2, 2006. I have found a Dr. in Houston that is really great. He does not give you a hard time for having gone to Mexico for your surgery. He requires you to come in for a consult with your operative report the charge for this is $150.00, he likes for you to come to him 2 weeks after your surgery. He will then schedule you for a fill at 6 weeks post op he charges $250.00 per fill. Below is his information:

Dr. Matthew St. Laurent

18220 Tomball Parkway, Suite 300

Houston, Texas 77070

281-921-1890

He is located at Woodlands Memorial Hospital.

Good Luck!!!

I had surgery in Mexico on 4/2/05. I have had two fills done in Dr. Marvin office. Dr. Marvin accepts mexico patients along with an operative report, the cost of fills is $200.00 His office is located in the Heights area in Houston, Texas. You may contact his office by calling 1-800-664-9177. I have been very satisfied with my fills.

Please feel free to email with additional questions.

Thanks for all the responses. I have talked to Dr. Marvin's scheduling nurse and I liked her very much. Her name is Terry and the number is 713-696-4656. I have not yet talked to Dr. St. Laurent but I intend to. I like what "skinnyagain?" had to say about him above. My surgery is coming up soon and I am a little nervous but excited!!

I live near Lake Charles, LA (in the southwest corner of the state) I drive alllll the way to College Station for my fills and it's worth it. I love Dr. Stephanie Eijsink. She does fills only (no banding), has a band herself and makes appointments on weekends. I don't have access to her phone number at the moment, but you can contact her by email - seijsink@swmail.sw.org she checks often.

Forgot to mention that most of her patients have been banded in Mexico and she is not the least bit judgemental about it... unlike some local doctors I spoke with.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
