Hello, I am getting ready for my surgery in Mexico and am now finding that most doctors here won't do fills for Mexico patients. I went to www.fillcentersusa.com but their closest location is about 4 hours away. I also found out that the Surgical Weight Loss Center in Tacoma will do them but at $400 a fill!!! Does anyone know of a location in Western Washington that does fills for Mexico patients at a lower price than that?? Thanks!!

All of my fills have been done by doctors. I might trust a nurse practitioner or a physician's assistant to do a fill, but no one else.

My husband, a certified Physician Assistant, did my last fill and will do any and all that I need in the future.

Damn, that's convenient!!! Lucky you.

My surgeon does my fills and the RN is always there...okay by always, i mean the two times I've had a fill/unfill. But as I understand it, Dr. Hess will always be the one to do the actual fills.
