Anyone know anyone in the phoenix area that does fills?

Yes...although she is not a doctor....Wendy is licensed to do fills. I belive her certification she got from the State of Washington. She fun and very likable person. She travels all around Arizona and is in Phoenix and Mesa once a week. Her number is 928-536-5377. She will contact you within the week....at least this is what I experienced personally.

P.S. Once I get the band and we move to Arizona...I'm going to use her. I've talked to her already and she has rave reviews from many people. Do your own research...but this is what I have found.

Hope this helps !

Who did you get your surgery by? I've decided that I"m eventually going with Dr. Kuri....although there are other well respected doctors down there.

I went with dr Almanza in tijiuana. Jerusalem hospital. It was overall a terrific experience. I wish there was a little more communication and education but overall terrific. I would go back for fills but traveling there will kill me financially.

I was terrified@ I thought I wouldn't come back alive...lol but it was fine. Sterile, professional and friendly.

I used to live in the Scottsdale/Phoenix/Tempe/Chandler area for 6 years and can't wait to move back. I feel like its home. My wife and I are looking to move back there...but just waiting for the good Lord to breathe on our plans.

P.S. If you don't mind me asking...what was the cost of his surgery? At the moment...Dr. Kuri is $5500...although cost is not the MAJOR consideration of a surgery...it is a variable.

Congrats on your making the plunge...my wife and I are currently saving up for surgery as we speak!

Believe it or not...this is a conscern of mine...as well as the long term effects of having the band inside us.

Me too. I am still very nervous about what I have done. What I have giving up or (less). So I'm there looking for reassurance at every turn. Dr Almanza had a special for3500. I know wow cheap. That is also part of the reason I had doubts... you know u get what u pay for". But so far so good. Already lost 17 lbs since last Friday. Amazing. But it is scary. Do a lot of research. Alot . I'm from philly and just moved to phoenix last year. Dev

      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.
