I too am looking for a fill doctor in Houston area. Dr Rumbaut is who I intend to use for my surgery but I want someone in Houston for after-care or for fills. I have contacted Dr. Rumbaut's office today to see if they can recommend someone as their web site says they have many doctors in the US that will see their patients for fills, etc. Haven't heard back yet. Anyone have any ideas?

I was banded by Dr. Rumbaut on Feb 2, 2006. I have found a Dr. in Houston that is really great. He does not give you a hard time for having gone to Mexico for your surgery. He requires you to come in for a consult with your operative report the charge for this is $150.00, he likes for you to come to him 2 weeks after your surgery. He will then schedule you for a fill at 6 weeks post op he charges $250.00 per fill. Below is his information:

Dr. Matthew St. Laurent

18220 Tomball Parkway, Suite 300

Houston, Texas 77070

281-921-1890

He is located at Woodlands Memorial Hospital.

Good Luck!!!

I had surgery in Mexico on 4/2/05. I have had two fills done in Dr. Marvin office. Dr. Marvin accepts mexico patients along with an operative report, the cost of fills is $200.00 His office is located in the Heights area in Houston, Texas. You may contact his office by calling 1-800-664-9177. I have been very satisfied with my fills.

Please feel free to email with additional questions.

Thanks for all the responses. I have talked to Dr. Marvin's scheduling nurse and I liked her very much. Her name is Terry and the number is 713-696-4656. I have not yet talked to Dr. St. Laurent but I intend to. I like what "skinnyagain?" had to say about him above. My surgery is coming up soon and I am a little nervous but excited!!

I live near Lake Charles, LA (in the southwest corner of the state) I drive alllll the way to College Station for my fills and it's worth it. I love Dr. Stephanie Eijsink. She does fills only (no banding), has a band herself and makes appointments on weekends. I don't have access to her phone number at the moment, but you can contact her by email - seijsink@swmail.sw.org she checks often.

Forgot to mention that most of her patients have been banded in Mexico and she is not the least bit judgemental about it... unlike some local doctors I spoke with.

LAURENT IN HOUSTON AT WOODLANDS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL LAST FRIDAY AND GOT HER FILL -- SHE LOVED HIM -- HE TOOK TIME WITH HER - WENT OVER HER FILE AND EVERYTHING - AND GAVE HER A FILL OF 1.7 AND TOLD HER IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH IN 2 WEEKS CALL AND HE'D DO IT AGAIN -- BUT SHE WAS VERY PLEASED ---

THANK - WE'LL KEEP YOUR DR. NAME IN SOMETHING HAPPENS

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
