Lu Ann 0 Posted July 12, 2005 I just called the doctor's office, and he won't do fill's for anyone banded in Mexico. Just FYI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lu Ann 0 Posted July 13, 2005 Help! Does anyone know of a fill doctor in Texas, preferably Houston area, that will do fills for Mx. patients? I need to know very quickly...I would drive anywhere at this point. Thanks!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevang 0 Posted August 6, 2005 I have two numbers and one of them is in Houston. I'm in the Dallas area and was given these numbers. I know they both do patients banded in Mexico and the price was $150. I'll give you both numbers and you can call them to see which is in Houston. Wish Center 888-870-9474 Dr. Marvin 800-664-9177 If these don't work, I have several in the Dallas area that will do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leatha_g 4 Posted August 6, 2005 Beware those who don't do bands but feast on the harvest of opportunity (banded patients in need.) If these people don't know the band well, they can do more harm than good... just my 2 cents.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyndilou_77536 0 Posted September 1, 2005 I am also from the Houston area but am not quite ready for a fill yet (with in the next 3 weeks). Therefore, will probably need to go ahead and schedule with someone soon (banded in Mexico). Leatha, you message above scares me....how am I gonna know if the Dr. I schedule with will be a good one?.. Any thoughts? Thanks!............Cyndi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
