Where the nearest fill doctor?



Recommended Posts

I will receive my band in Mexico on March 11th from Dr. Huacuz. Does anyone know of a doctor that will see me for fills near Columbia South Carolina if not in South Carolina how about Georgia, or North Carolina.

Thank you all so much... Mindy

Good morning,

I recently relocated to Columbia. Found a doc but, they charge $500 for a Mex patient only $100 for US. It's really too bad how they do us.

yes it is and it sux!!! I can drive to flordia or even fly with specials for the airline and get fills cheaper there!! I have 6 to 8 weeks to figure out what I'm going to do but going back to TJ is out of the question!!! ONLY BECAUSE OF THE LONG FLIGHT!!!! Everthing and I mean EVERYTHING else was wonderful from the begining of my arrival to my departure never could I have gotten that kind of care in Columbia South Carolina!!!

Where in Columbia are you? I am in NE Cola.

How long does it take you to get to Fl for the fill? I am so excited to be re-filled and back on my filled bandwagon. BUT, it will definitely take some getting used to. However, I want to stay on it with my fills so this journey came be pretty much over. You can email me privately, too.

The doctors are currently charging $200 per fill, cash only, payable at Check-In. Patient must first provide complete medical records regarding surgery prior to appointment. If patient shows for appointment without providing records in advance, patient will be rescheduled.

How much are your fills for patience that received their lap band in

Mexico? Do you do the fill with a fluroscope? Thank you, Mindy

@@@@I just wanted to pass this email around maybe we can hold them to this 200.00 fee for Mexico bandsters@@@@@

      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.
