Hey guys. I need a doc in Houston (not College Station) to do an unfill. Had my surgery in Mexico. So far the docs I researched either won't take you at all if they didn't do the surgery or they want five hundred friggin' bucks. I need someone reasonably priced. Having trouble and need an unfill soon, preferably tomorrow. Suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks so so much. The first doc on your list isn't too far. I'll be at his office waiting for him when he opens in the morning to pressure him into unfilling me immediately.

So, I went to the first doc on the list and ... well ... see my other post: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f78/pain-above-pouch-when-eat-drink-35415/

Absolutely not going back there.

Both doctors Spivak and Spiegel have refused to take me because they didn't perform the surgery. An assistant in Dr. Spiegel's office just told me to go back to College Station, but the fill doc in College Station is just too far. I have too small children and for a 4-hour round trip on a Saturday - the only day she does fills - its just too hard.

From the other ones on the above list, can I get a good recommendation from someone who has been to the doc? I think I need someone with the x-ray, fluoroscope equipment.

<p>I know it is a ways to drive, but I live in Huntsville, TX and I drive to Ferris (just past Ennis) straight north on I-45 to see Dr. Fred Maese for my fills. I was also banded in Mexico. He is great! I would be happy to give you his contact info if you are interested.</p>

I have been to Dr. Marvin once before. He is okay, but he doesn't have a flouroscopic x-ray machine. Once again, I forgot to tell you that Dr. Maese has a flouro machine and he always takes an x-ray after he fills you. Why don't I just give you his number? 972-842-3911

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
