Anyone is welcome to go with us to Mexico for fills. Dr. Aceves, he is about 50 miles west of Yuma. We go as a group and have fun while we are in Mexico. He'll fill people he did not band.

Looking for a doc in the Yuma area willing to take other docs patients

and insurance.

I refuse to pay for a fill when my insurance company will do it for me.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

How much is your copay? The reason I ask is if it is a hefty copay or if it would be cheaper than driving Dr. Aceves is 55 miles west of you and he's $80 for a fill with Fluoro.

No co-pay!

But I will only be there for about 5 months, this year.

I would like to meet up with you. You do live in Yuma?

I'm a new lapbander, going for my first fill in three days.

Nope, I'm in Phoenix but I know there are several banded folks in Yuma.

If you can't find a fill doc in reasonable driving distance Dr. A is a great choice. Probably the cheapest you'll find for cash pay if you have to go that route.

Dr Aceves also does his fills with fluoro. Don't know if that makes a difference to you.

Hey, Francine. I lived in Gig Harbor for 30 years, and now divide my time between Arizona and Washington. Glad to see another Pierce County area person on here.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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