Yes, I know he did her surgery but I wonder if he would fill someone that had been banded in MX. Isnt there a post somewhere with a link to doctors across the US who would fill for patients that had surgery in MX?

For those that had it done in Louisville were there any upfront fees involved that weren't covered by insurance? Just curious as the hospital and DR that I am looking into I have to have about $500 upfront that isn't covered or sent in to be counted on the insurance.

I was self pay so I'm not sure of any up-front fees since I had to pay everything upfront.

I'm very happy with my doctor...

I was banded in Mexico. Dr Curry in Cincinnati does my fills. He has several mexico banded patients. Should be a 2 hr drive for you. 513-559-1222. Good luck. His staff are awesome, most of them have been banded themselves.

You might try Georgetown KY. I have phone number you can try if nothing else maybe they can give you information on who may be able to help. 888-868-0008 the name is Cathi Roskind email address is cathi.roskind@lpnt.net. That is a start anyway.

It is a lengthy process but well worth it. You will be overrun with information.

I think they want to make sure people are serious before giving the okay. It took me 5 months to get through the whole process and finally have surgery. Most of the time came from the insurance company doing their part.

I had surgery a month ago and would do it again in a minute. I had surgery at Georgetown KY and they have wonderful staff there. Very thorough. Alot of information. Just a super experience.

Good Luck!!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
