Hello all. Does anyone know where someone banded in Mexico can get a fill in or around Boston or New England. Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks.

Any Major Hospital. You are in the Medical Heartland of America.

I would call Brigham & Women's Hospital. They are the most knowledgeable about Lapland in Boston.

I tried that. They do not perform fills for people banded outside of the US. Same for all the other hospitals in Boston.

HI! Have you found a fill doctor in Boston yet? The only one who would take me charged $195 for a fill with his P.A., which came with a compulsory "office visit" (consisting of a greeting, a weigh-in, the fill, and a drink of water) that cost another $250!! And it didn't do the job, either. Needless to say, I won't be going back there! Hope you've had better luck!! Just call me "Cheated at Tufts."

I'm from Maine and I am going to be banded in Mexico in December. I have been unable to find a doctor in New England so I found NYU medical center and on their web site they say that they will do fills for patients that have not been banded by them. Also the is a fills center USA in Nj. The NYU medical center is in Manhattan.
