Does anyone know of a good fill doctor in Southern California that will accept a Mexico banded patient?

I found one in San Bernardino, but he does blind fills <yikes!> and I'm terrified that my band will be poked in the wrong place! I'd appreciate any help, thanks!

Were are you in So Cal? Dr Martinez in Dr Ortiz office in TJ is awesome. They do it on Saturday's so you could go in the am and do Seaworld or Zoo>

I'm in San Diego County. My first fill is 5/14. I will be going back to Tijuana. Several people like to take a $5 cab ride to Revolution, shop, etc. Also the Dentist I use there does the laser whitening for around $180.

Isa, if you live in San Diego

Tiajuana has some good band doctors who will do fills on patients banded anywhere.

Dr. Kuri Dr. Ortiz are both very experienced and have a good reputation with their patients on fills. There are several other Dr.'s in TJ, it is just a matter of finding the one who is best for you. Good Luck :)

MIchelle: You left Billy off the list. That looks like the list I got from Lopez when I asked for doctors he recommends.

I use Dr. Helmuth Billy in Ventura, CA. He is awesome.

Sorry Penni, did not mean to I just cut and pasted the list I have on file, maybe this list is outdated. I got this list from Inamed well before I was banded when I was researching the band almost 2 years ago and I know it goes by distance from my zip code, maybe Dr. Billy was out of the 100 mile range. Please add his name, addres and number to the list for future reference for other patients.

      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.
