Need Fill Doc in Raton Texas (Sweetwater,Abilene,Midland,Lubbock,San Angelo)

Jann · May 4, 2007

I am writing this for someone who is considering Lap Band and is doing her research. She has had some problems accessing the site after I referred her so I am asking this question for her. She is going to had the procedure done by Dr. Joya in PV Mexico so she needs somebody who is OK :-)

If you know someone please give me location and cost if you know it. :help:

Thanks!!

My guess is the most experienced and talented wls doctor within driving distance of her is Dr. Warnock at United Health Care Hospital in Wichita Falls. He is well-known and highly regarded and is a pioneer in the field.

I know that Lubbock and Amarillo are closer to her but there are very few wls people there and the ones who are there are very new to the business as far as I know unless someone has come in there within the past year or so. There was a dr from Albuquerque coming to Lubbock and Amarillo one day a week but don't know if he still is or not or how extensive his background is.

Thanks for the quick response Gayle. Do you have any idea if he has any problem with taking on patients who had their bands done in Mexico? I can always tell her to check it out herself but she may be a little shy at this point.

P.S. Great quote.

Hello Jann and Gayle,

I finally found my way here. Jann is asking the question for me, Deanna. I live in Rotan Texas. Wichita Falls would be probably 3 hours for me. I will check out Dr. Warnock and see if he does Mexico lapband aftercare. I appreciate all the help from y'all (Texas talk).

Hi, dmosely......glad you made it here! Honey, Rotan is 3 hours from ANYWHERE!! I can say that because I'm originally from Quanah.....same deal, right?

I do know there are people in Lubbock and Amarillo who go to Dallas to have their fills. Dr. Maese, who is near Love Field in Highland Park, does fills for Mexico patients.....he is from Mexico and his father and uncle were there in the 'early' days of LapBands and he worked with them. He's a master at fills!

Best wishes to you!!

You might consider Dr. Cantu and Dr. Mansu in Reynosa Mexico for fills, they use an excellent fill center and only miles from McAllen Tx. Consider them for your surgery too.
