Hi. Have you tried Dr. Edward Felix in Freso? He also has an associate but I can't think of his name of hand or locate the info right how. My friend has gastric bypass done by him and said he's an excellent doctor.

I was banded in Mexico on 6-5-08.I live in Virginia.The closest facility that will do a fill under fluroscopy is in New Jersey with a price tag of $365 and 7 hours of driving,not including my gas at $4 a gallon to get there.I have decided to fly back to Mexico for the fill.My plane ticket and the $279 fee for the fill in Mexico is still $6 cheaper than if i drove to Jersey.Isn't that nuts??The $279 fill in Mexico at the clinic I went to also includes the shuttle service to and from San Diego airport and 1 night stay in that fabulous Hotel Lucerna.

I've heard of Dr Felix as far as I know he won't do a fill on patients, that weren't his originally. I know he has an extremely busy practice, people come from all over for his help. But it doesn't hurt to ck again. Thanks

My Dr is in TJ, but it's a 5-6 hour drive one way depending on traffic, w/gas $4.56 a gallon and the pain of cross the border, I'd love to find someone just a bit closer in CA. I was really hoping there would be someone locally for me or at least maybe someone in SF or Sacramento. Wishing you well and safe travel.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
