Fill Doctors in California



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of a fill doctor in Southern California who will see patients who were banded in Mexico. I have heard of Dr. Billy in Van Nuys, but I do not know how to get a hold of him.... I am also not sure if he will see patients who have been banded in Mexico. The problem is Dr. Billy is just as far from me as Dr. Huacuz in Tijuana. Now I know why everyone mentioned that we should set this up, prior to surgery. however I always thought I would go back to Dr. Huacuz in TJ for my fills, but I have read so many posts with people talking about over fills, it would be nice to have someone close by. Please help!

Dr. Billy is wonderful! He just did my first fill after he preformed my surgury in February. One shot and he was done.

One thing that I like about Dr. Billy is he isn't afraid of people that have been banded in Mexico where as alot of docs don't like to fill people that they didn't operate on. I have heard nothing but good things about him. My husband and I just love him and his staff!! They are a great team to have in your corner.

If you do chose to go with him be forwarned he is very blunt about diet which can be good or bad depending on how you look at it. He explains everything in very laymens terms BUT doesn't beat around the bush either!

Good luck! Let me know if you need any more info!

      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.
