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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
