nightingale2u 42 Posted January 30, 2005 Hi Dawn... you might want to post your question under the fills and Doctors heading... might be more likely to get some ideas. I am from Oshkosh WI and my Doctor is Doctor Thomas Chua... the other Surgeon's in my area would be Dr. Georgen and Wasco. You might want to find the closest surgeon to you that does bariatric surgery. http://obesityhelp.com has a surgeon finder... that might help you out. Good Luck!

Leannie 0 Posted January 31, 2005 Dawn, I had my surgery in Mexico too and fortunately found a doctor in Menomonee Falls that would do fills. However, he said he is no longer taking new patients because he has found that those of us who have their surgeries done in Mexico don't get any counseling and while they (the Mexican doctors) are the ones making all the money, he is the one having to "deal" with our problems and answer all the questions that they should have dealt with before we ever had surgery. I went to Dr. Chua in Milwaukee for a pre-surgery consultation but he was about $300 a fill. Have you had your surgery yet? Dr. Chua will only do fills on other doctor's patients when he can see them pre-op. There was another one I looked into in Chicago. I couldn't tell you his name right now, but I'll find it if you're interested. Good luck, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nightingale2u 42 Posted January 31, 2005 Dr. Chua has reduced his price to 200.00 per fill for private pay but like Leannie said... he requires that you see him prior to going to Mexico if he is to do your fills. I do not think that Dr, Wasco in Neenah requires that. They charge a consult fee of approximately 119.00 and then 75.00 per fill for private pay.
