arizona doctor willing to do fills for mexican band patients.



Recommended Posts

I always like to tell everyone about a Company called Fill Centers USA..they accept aptients not banded in the USA. . They have fill docs all over the USA. I go to one in my town and it is much better than when I was traveling back to Dr Ortiz. (although I love him!) You can read very positive things about all of their providers. You might give them a call to see if they haveo one in your area. Good luck

Are any of you still going to Mexico for fills, to Aceves specifically? If so, do ya'll pass through Yuma? I'd love to go.

I am in need of a fill but it's been so long since I've been to see Dr. Aceves and I'm unsure of the passport issues now, I'd love to have a buddy to go with.

Thanks!

In the state of AZ, nurse practitioners are recognized as primary care providers and are not required to practice "under the umbrella of a physician's care".

Randy, such advertisements are not welcome here.

Beyond that, you leave yourself open to some major legal issues if ANYthing were to go wrong... and I mean ANYthing. You could be found responsible for pretty much anything that goes wrong with a person's band because you are not doing it under the umbrella of a physician's care.

There is a NP who lives in Mesa who may be willing to take Tucson patients. He may charge more for the drive. You may want to call him. His name is Randy Hamilton and he is great. He does my fills/unfill's in Phoenix. He drives to my house to do it. 480.363.8654.

OMG YES!!!!!!! There is only a handful right now and the cost is insane. We need someone in the area so bad. He would be the busiest Dr. in PHX I can tell you that. I for sure would use him. Hell I need him now. Please let me know if he decides to do this. I live in Cottonwood and there is nobody up here.

I use Dr. Terry Simpson. He is amazing. Look into using him. Without him, I would not have lost 85 pounds so far!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
