I'm considering self-pay. One of the reasons I'm hesitant about going to Mexico is the follow-up care (fills, etc.). I live in Minnesota so Mexico is a trip. I'd feel much more secure local, but finances are limited. Any suggestions, advice, etc.?

Misty:

I've heard that Dr. Billing in Moose Lake will do fills for patients who have had their surgeries outside of the country. If you end up having to go to Mexico for your surgery, you might want to check with Dr. Billing to see if he will do fills and follow-up care.

Thanks so much Traci.

You can find a list of doctors on www.obesityhelp.com

Once your on the site, on the left open "find a bariatric dr" pick your state, in the middle of the list it shows who does lap.

Hopefully this could help.

Good luck:D
