Fill Centers USA has an office in Houston. Fill Centers USA does fills for anybody, that's all they do.

My surgeon is part of a group called True Results and they have an office in Houston. You could call them. Look them up at www.trueresults.com. I would think a reputable surgeon's practice would pick you up as a patient since you have moved from overseas. Not like you went to Mexico to save money.

Many surgeons don't want to take on another surgeon's patient...regardless of the reason. It can be like inheriting someone's mess.

However that doesn't mean you can't find a good doc and Parrothead gave you some good leads. :thumbup:

Try the Davis Clinic in Houston. It's now located on the West side Houston. The doctors were on the show Big Medicine on Discovery Health channel so you can check them out. I got my band done in Shreveport, LA and the Davis Clinic took me on only a few months after my surgery. Let me know if you need any additional information! (Plus, they're sooooo nice!)

Thanks, but I'm going to Stephanie Eijsink tomorrow, instead of Saturday. I've heard nothing but excellent things about how she makes sure your fill is tight since she uses the fluro.

I'm new here. I had my surgery in Mexico with Dr Rumbaut. I tried to contact Dr. Stephanie Eijsink but I guess I have an old phone number. Can somebody give me her phone number please? I need a fill ASAP. Thank you!!:rolleyes:

      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.
