Have you heard of Dr. Barry Greene? He is in Rockville and has an outpatient clinic where he does lap-band surgury! His fees are reasonable if tou are a self pay. His number is (301) 251-4128

Just thought that you might want to take this route rather than flying to a differn't coutry

Dr. Greene is a very caring and personable doctor. He completed my surgery on April 4, 2006, and have not had any complications as he is a very proactive and precautious doctor. I highly recommend him. Good luck.

Hello Marylanders!

I am thinking to get the lap-band, overseas in Hungary this coming September, by Dr. Csiszár Miklós @ Péterfy Sándor utcai Kórház / hospital in Budapest.

My residence is in Silver Spring, I will need a doctor in this area to do the fills for me.

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Katalin.e.

I am new to the marylanders thread but I felt the need to add my 2 cents in. I was actually banded in Mexico but I started going to Dr. Greene for my fills. I agree with any and everyone who says Dr. Greene is wonderful!

I normally see his assistant Peter for my fills but Dr. Greene has been available when I needed him.

I went to Mexico because my BMI was 38 and even though I had HP my primary physician would not recommend me for WLS so I took matters into my own hands. Please consult with Dr. Greene before going out of the country. If I had know him, I would have but I have been very happy with my surgery and my Mexico doctor as well as Dr. Greene's staff and office.

Best Wishes!!!

Hello NaturalBeauty,

My BMI is around 38.

I have to self pay and I thought I should try my home country, which is Hungary...as I am gathering all the information on this, I will be better off financially than even to travel to Mexico.

The hospital, and Dr. Csiszar excellent, they do a super job.

BUT!

Reading you, booda, Angelu I made up my mind to call Dr. Greene's office for a consultation before I make a decison on anything.

THANKS so much!

NaturalBeauty, how much do they charge for the fills?

Luckly, my insurance pays for my fills (I believe it's how the code it )but I believe it's $150 a fill and there are other admin cost that come with that. I know that's how much it cost a little over a year ago when I first went but now it could be higher. The demand for doctors who will treat patients who have had surgery in another country is high so some doctors are taking advantage of it. But Dr. Greene is great, I go on Monday for a possible unfill.

I hope it works out.
