Fills for Mexican patients, etc.



Recommended Posts

Hi bandsters,

I frequent the ObesityHelp lap band forum, and someone suggested that I should post this info here.

I have heard from a lot of patients who were either banded in Mexico or or are being charged ridiculous amounts for fills and aftercare who are frustrated and not having good results. I am fairly obsessed with seeing band patients do well, therefore I have decided to accept outside patients in my practice for fills and aftercare.

My only requirement is that you go through our class with my dieititian (who is banded herself) and make a long-term commitment to aftercare with us. Our patients to well because we are demanding and follow our patients very closely!

Our number is 877.442.BAND or 513.559.1222. If you need a reference just ask anyone on ObesityHelp, I spend way to much time over there!

Dr. Curry, I think you must be a wonderful and caring doctor! I have never quite understood the reluctance and outright refusal of American doctors in wanting to provide aftercare for those of us banded in Mexico. I wanted to thank you for posting this information here, it is always nice to have a doctor in the house!

      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.

        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!
