Check out Belite weight on the internet. They do fills at Hospital Angeles in Tijuana with flouroscopy. I like the flouroscopy because they can fill you up agressively while still ensuring that you can get things through. The hospital is very modern and professional.

My first fill was effective and I read online that many fills dont give much restriction during the first cycle. I pay $100 a fill with flouroscopy but it may be slightly more if you transfer to them.

It is also very close to San Diego and they have security guards managing the parking in front of the hospital. It is a quick drive in but tedious to cross back over the border.

You might try Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana. I know he does fills for other doctors' patients. He charges his patients $100 for fills with fluoroscopy, but I don't know if he has a different rate for nonpatients.

Check out his website at obesitycontrolcenter.com. I ran into one of Dr Kuri's patients there the last time I was there, and also met another lapband patient who was there with a friend, and got a fill from Ortiz's clinic even though she had her surgery done elsewhere.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
