Arizona fill doctor



Recommended Posts

Looking for a fill doctor in the Phoenix area. Getting banded in Mexico. Some threads are really old, that is why I am starting this one.

Thanks,

George

So seriously, is anyone in the Phoenix area doing self pay? This is getting ridiculous. One doctor, Dr, Stevenson, wanted $260 just to be seen and $200 for a fill. The other, at WLIA is a $500 fee and $200+ a fill. Are you kidding me. It would be cheaper to go back to Mexico for Christ sake.

I was wondering the same thing. Banded in Mexico (Ortiz) and wanted to see what the cost would be to get filled here. If those prices are correct I'll be heading back down there soon.

At least I get a few days off and a trip out of Phoenix! Only hassle I've ever had is getting back across the border into the states. Standing in line sucks!

Please let me know if you find anyone cheaper!

Cheapest I found here, in Phoenix, was $250 a fill. Still not sure if I am going to go back to Mexico or get it here.

It is expensive for fills anywhere you go. Thank goodness for insurance. I haven't had a fill in over a year. I have a 10cc band & have 7.5cc in it. I hope it works out for you.

First fill was Friday and it was $250. He put 1cc into my 4cc band and might as well have put nothing in it. No restriction, hungry after a few hours and can eat the same amount I did before I was banded.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
