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@@@@@

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
