Hello I was banded in mexico on july 6th and I am now hearing that people have problems finding fillers in the states.

Anyone know anyone in the phoenix area that does fills?

Yes...although she is not a doctor....Wendy is licensed to do fills. I belive her certification she got from the State of Washington. She fun and very likable person. She travels all around Arizona and is in Phoenix and Mesa once a week. Her number is 928-536-5377. She will contact you within the week....at least this is what I experienced personally.

P.S. Once I get the band and we move to Arizona...I'm going to use her. I've talked to her already and she has rave reviews from many people. Do your own research...but this is what I have found.

Hope this helps !

Who did you get your surgery by? I've decided that I"m eventually going with Dr. Kuri....although there are other well respected doctors down there.

I went with dr Almanza in tijiuana. Jerusalem hospital. It was overall a terrific experience. I wish there was a little more communication and education but overall terrific. I would go back for fills but traveling there will kill me financially.

I was terrified@ I thought I wouldn't come back alive...lol but it was fine. Sterile, professional and friendly.

I used to live in the Scottsdale/Phoenix/Tempe/Chandler area for 6 years and can't wait to move back. I feel like its home. My wife and I are looking to move back there...but just waiting for the good Lord to breathe on our plans.

P.S. If you don't mind me asking...what was the cost of his surgery? At the moment...Dr. Kuri is $5500...although cost is not the MAJOR consideration of a surgery...it is a variable.

Congrats on your making the plunge...my wife and I are currently saving up for surgery as we speak!

Me too. I am still very nervous about what I have done. What I have giving up or (less). So I'm there looking for reassurance at every turn. Dr Almanza had a special for3500. I know wow cheap. That is also part of the reason I had doubts... you know u get what u pay for". But so far so good. Already lost 17 lbs since last Friday. Amazing. But it is scary. Do a lot of research. Alot . I'm from philly and just moved to phoenix last year. Dev

      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!!
