FOR BILLY

Pam, what docs in okc and tulsa are you looking at? And hoe much do they charge. the one we found in ark is 400.00 with fluro the one in tx is 300.00 with fluro. I dont think they like to deal with mex patients They both seem nice but I know they dont charge thier u.s patients that much. let me know what you find out I guess we have plenty of time since we cant get a fill for 6 weeks. But i like to be prepared.

hey okie, so glad to hear you had a good experience.what kid of band did you get? Billy is going to get a inamed band I think it is suppose to be a 14cc band. I dont know if he is going to want a fill before we leave or not I hope he waits, I think we can go and get one after he heals. My husbands surgery is the 12th we are both very excited!! Have you found a fill doc here yet? We found a couple one in arkansas and one in garland tx either one is the same distance for us. Let me know what you find. Again congrats and let me kow how you are.

who's doing your fills and follow up?

WOW us to doc rod in juarez on sept 12.

Hey Okie, What part of se oklahoma are you from? Where do you teach? I am not getting banded i"m here for my hubby. we're from the talihina, clayton area. What doc is doing your band?

Monkey did doc say if there was any way to tell if there is a problem before procedure? Will a liver function test tell? anyone know?

Thanks to all you guys, everyone has been so helpful.

Can anyone out there tell me the difference between the j&j band and the allergan band? I was told by a friend that the allergan band has been around longer than the j&j. She also thinks its the first to be fda approved in u.s. an that its easier to get docs in U.S to fill because its more familiar to docs. Any thoughts on the subject? What kind of band do you guys have? what about port size?

hausband gets his band sept. 12th. Dr jose rodriguiz.

Can someone give me the number to Dr. Luttrell. I cant seem to find it. Also does anyone know a doc in Ft. Smith that will take Mexico pats? Husband has srg. on september 12th in mexico and we found a doc in arlington texas(we live in southeast oklahoma)that will take over care but we travel to arkansas alot and thought it might be more convienaint to have one around Ft. Smith area.

What brand are these bands? could it be the same brands?

And I know people die in u.s But nyllrap is right we dont have to justify to anyone but each other thank you nyll.

so if he dies waiting to save up more then I can use it to bury him? do you know how long we had to save now!!!! and how many times hes been hospitalized as a diabetic?
