Help! I Need A Fill With In 300 Miles Memphis



Recommended Posts

I went to TJ Mexico and got my band. I did real well, lost 50lbs in a month. Then because of nerve damage and joint problems, I was unable to work for almost 2years and was not able to afford to go for fills. I gained back the 50 and another 50. I am finally getting back on my feet ( no pun intended) and I am ready to lose this weight. i di find someone in Cincinnati, OH, but that is an 8 hour drive. I would like to find some one closer to Memphis if possible. Any suggestions? Prices?

Thanks, Joan

I don't have the name of hospital or group but when I was looking I found one in Paducah KY . Surely there is one in Nashville Tn.

If you don't know to look on the internet pm and I will for you.

I called myself looking on the internet, but the closest I found ( and called) was a bariatric surgeon in Ohio. There was one in Nashville, but when I was able to afford the fill, he was no longer doing Mexican patients. Paducah would be great. Do you have the info? Thanks so much for the post.

I forgot to say how great you look in the pic. i can hardly wait. My grandson asked me the other day if I remembered when I went to Mexico. I told him yes. He looked me right in the eye and told me " They lied to you Grandma, you're still fat" I almost busted a gut laughing. He was soooo serious, like he was telling me something that , even though it might be hard to hear, I really should be aware of. Out of the mouth of grandkids.;)

I bet Dr. Agotee is the only one in Paducah I can think of, but I'm not sure about Mexican patients, maybe they will chime back in. I had surgery in Mexico too and there are 4 of us from Paducah that drive to Dr. Curry, who is absolutely fabulous and fills are 150.00. If you will go to his website and go to forums there is a place where we do rideshares and I'm sure if you can't find anyone here you could ride with one of us. Good luck.

I used Dr. John Lambert in Batesville, AR. I had my surgery in Monterrey, Mexico, but Dr. Lambert is doing my aftercare. He is very good. I just had a fill today!

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