Hi. I too am looking for fill doctor that will accept Mex patients. Let me know if you find anyone! thanks

Have to agree. I had an unfill today due to the same reason. It started only once in a while and this past week I didn't sleep for 4 days from the nighttime bile. Had to rush to TJ for an unfill. Good Luck!

Hey. I too am looking for a Miami fill doctor. I go back to TJ and its a mission to get there! Let me know if you found someone!

Hi. I was banded AUG07 and I too am a "Huacuzie". The treatment you receive from Dr. Huacuz and his facility is second to none. I know its kind of intimidating to go to another country and trust someone you've only met online or on the phone, but I did and I'm so happy for it. I can only tell you that my life has changed 180 degrees. Thank the lord I had no complications and any questions or worries were promptly answered by Dr. Huacuz personally. I've since returned for 2 fills and they have both been fast and painless. I recommend him to all my friends and family and to you too. Good luck and feel free to contact me if you have any hesitations. jad :nervous

I would be weary of members that are so adamant about certian doctors when THEY'RE NOT EVEN THEIR PATIENT! I was banded by Huacuz in AUG07 and not only am I alive and kicking-it was a great experience! I will be returing this month for a fill- and Dr. Huacuz and his staff have been nothing but caring and interested in my progress even though I literally live on the other side of the continent from them. If i were you I would only take advice from actual PATIENTS not members that think they're experts cause they read blogs on the internet. First hand experience is best. Good luck! jad

Alphaelle- you will not regret your choice, Huacuz is a great doctor. Just do what you're told and the surgery and lapband will be a breeze- oh and my best advice to you is CHEW. Chew a lot and then chew some more. You'll remember me in a couple of weeks! :-)

Linda- I also was banded with Dr. Huacuz and I feel like a million bucks its been 8 wks since surgery and I can't even tell besides some small scars that I had surgery and the weight is coming off. Don't be nervous he will take good care of you! jad

Hi i was banded in AUG07 with Huacuz and it has been a great experience! I HIGHLY recommend him and his facility. I will be returning on Saturday 10.27 for a fill....good luck on your search! jad

I contacted my doctor and he stated that draining is normal. He also has me on rigorous cleaning regimen and i have it covered with a gauze and tape. I took antibiotics the first couple of days and I finished them already. He stated that as long as the draining was not pus like, smelled or changed colors I was ok but to keep an eye on it. Thanks for your reply keep me updated on how you;re doing. jad

Thank you so much! I will search that.

4 inc, port

Hi, how many weeks post op did your doc pull it out? Since I'm a MEx bander I need to do it myself :-(

Hi. I'm so with you on the scar questions. I was banded on 8/29 and i'm already freaking out as to the scars. I only have 4 incisions, the port one is the worst the other 3 are very thin and healing nicely. The port one is pink and a little wide and its still draining, so I'm stressing the scar. I have very fair skin so I scar well but I think this one is going to give me a hard time. I had prior surgeries and i used a product called ScarGuard on my scars and they healed perfectly. I plan to use it again when my incisions close in a couple of weeks. If you fine anyother remedies, let me know! Thanks~

Hi guys I was banded 8/29 also and also got a fill before I left TJ, i was also back to work 9/4 but I'm finding i'm in pain due to sitting all day by 3-4pm. I have a good amount of pain in the port area, and I'm definetly walking around kind of like a hunchback since it hurts to stand straight up. I'm trying to walk, but finding its hard to get a full 30min in. Some questions for you guys... -Do you guys still have pain? -Also how do i tell gas pain from port pain? -Do you sleep on your side? Does it hurt? thanks jad

Hi. I was banded 8/29 and yeap I have a little sting sticking out too! Thanks for the advice...I'll leave it alone!
