Just moved, need a Dr. in MS, AL or FL who will adjust band.

I had my surgery in 2004 in Mexico. I've had no complications. I just had a baby and need to get adjusted. I need to find a Dr. who will perform my fill even though I had surgery elsewhere. Can anyone provide info.? The South Mississippi Surgical weight loss center will for $1500 for one year of treatment, but that's a little steep.:confused2:

have you tried fillcentersusa?

I don't know my doctor's plans for outside patients (if they take them, I mean), but he's in Anniston,AL which is south Alabama. It would be worth asking them, their office and the doc are wonderful and always available by phone for questions.

And they don't charge ridiculous amounts for fills.

Freeman & Company Bariatric Center is his website, contact is on there. Good luck :tongue:

I live in South MS and am being banded in Mexico 2 weeks from today. I am also looking for someone to do my fills other than Dr. Avara..that price is crazy! Let me know if you find anyone. I have called all the way from Mobile to New Orleans with no luck.

Many doctors, including my own, will NOT do fills for patients banded outside the US. Something to do with potential lawsuits. Just FYI.

Thank you for the replys. I checked fillcentersusa.com and there is nothing close.

All you can do is ask, who knows knowing my doctor in Tupelo, he might.

I am planning on being banded by Dr. Ortiz april 7, carolyn w/ ortiz looked up a dr. lord in pensacola fl. she said he would do fills. I spoke to his office today, they didn't sound like they were too interested in doing it. one girl there said you had to have been banded a year before he would see you. Someone was supposed to call me back, but they haven't.

I seem to recall Dr. Lord mentioning at his seminar that he would not do fills for people who were banded in Mexico. Pensacola also has Baptist Hospital, which does WLS. In Santa Rosa County, which about 30-45 min east of Pensacola, there is a hospital there that does WLS--Santa Rosa Medical Center, I believe. You might call either of those places to ask about it.

I ended up using Dr. Avara in Ocean Springs. Did you ever find anyone?

My physician might do it. Call 1-662-377-7546 and speak with Dr. Pinson's nurse.:tongue2: Located in Tupelo, MS
