Where the nearest fill doctor?



Recommended Posts

I will receive my band in Mexico on March 11th from Dr. Huacuz. Does anyone know of a doctor that will see me for fills near Columbia South Carolina if not in South Carolina how about Georgia, or North Carolina.

Thank you all so much... Mindy

Good morning,

I recently relocated to Columbia. Found a doc but, they charge $500 for a Mex patient only $100 for US. It's really too bad how they do us.

yes it is and it sux!!! I can drive to flordia or even fly with specials for the airline and get fills cheaper there!! I have 6 to 8 weeks to figure out what I'm going to do but going back to TJ is out of the question!!! ONLY BECAUSE OF THE LONG FLIGHT!!!! Everthing and I mean EVERYTHING else was wonderful from the begining of my arrival to my departure never could I have gotten that kind of care in Columbia South Carolina!!!

Where in Columbia are you? I am in NE Cola.

How long does it take you to get to Fl for the fill? I am so excited to be re-filled and back on my filled bandwagon. BUT, it will definitely take some getting used to. However, I want to stay on it with my fills so this journey came be pretty much over. You can email me privately, too.

The doctors are currently charging $200 per fill, cash only, payable at Check-In. Patient must first provide complete medical records regarding surgery prior to appointment. If patient shows for appointment without providing records in advance, patient will be rescheduled.

How much are your fills for patience that received their lap band in

Mexico? Do you do the fill with a fluroscope? Thank you, Mindy

@@@@I just wanted to pass this email around maybe we can hold them to this 200.00 fee for Mexico bandsters@@@@@

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
