arizona doctor willing to do fills for mexican band patients.



Recommended Posts

I always like to tell everyone about a Company called Fill Centers USA..they accept aptients not banded in the USA. . They have fill docs all over the USA. I go to one in my town and it is much better than when I was traveling back to Dr Ortiz. (although I love him!) You can read very positive things about all of their providers. You might give them a call to see if they haveo one in your area. Good luck

Are any of you still going to Mexico for fills, to Aceves specifically? If so, do ya'll pass through Yuma? I'd love to go.

I am in need of a fill but it's been so long since I've been to see Dr. Aceves and I'm unsure of the passport issues now, I'd love to have a buddy to go with.

Thanks!

In the state of AZ, nurse practitioners are recognized as primary care providers and are not required to practice "under the umbrella of a physician's care".

Randy, such advertisements are not welcome here.

Beyond that, you leave yourself open to some major legal issues if ANYthing were to go wrong... and I mean ANYthing. You could be found responsible for pretty much anything that goes wrong with a person's band because you are not doing it under the umbrella of a physician's care.

OMG YES!!!!!!! There is only a handful right now and the cost is insane. We need someone in the area so bad. He would be the busiest Dr. in PHX I can tell you that. I for sure would use him. Hell I need him now. Please let me know if he decides to do this. I live in Cottonwood and there is nobody up here.

I use Dr. Terry Simpson. He is amazing. Look into using him. Without him, I would not have lost 85 pounds so far!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
