New and looking for fill doc.

[Jeanette 0]

Hello:

I am new to this board. I am in Chicago and I am looking for a fill doc who will take patients who were banded in Mexico. I dsaw one doctor here for my first fill but I feel that his hours are a bit different from my work schedule. Plus, he is way out in the suburbs and I would rather stay in the city. Does anyone out there hknow a doctor who will take a pationt he/she did not band?

Thank you in advance,

Jeanette

If you go to the Inamed site and fill out the little thingy for doctors in your area, they'll email you a list of them, then it's just a matter of calling them and finding out if they'll fill you up

then click on Surgeon Locator and start calling those in your area. Many doctors in the US will not take on patients banded in Mexico but some will but charge a higher fee. Good Luck

That's Dr. Horgan. He charges $1000 per fill if you have gone to another surgeon, but he will make an exception for patients of his mentor, Dr. Rumbaut. (I know, because he did for me.) Sarah and Michelle's suggestions are right on; you'll have to do some calling, but at least it's a place to start. You also might want to contact your Mexican surgeon to see if he/she has a colleague in Chicago. Good luck!
