Follow up services in Las Vegas for the band for banding done in Mexico

[ansoninc 16]

I have a friend who was banded in Mexico about 5 years ago. She has grown tired of traveling to Mexico for fills etc. Does anyone know of a doctor in Las Vegas that will do fills for her? It seems many doctors don't want provide services if they did t do the surgery .

I know this is old but I have consider getting banding done in Mexico, I was given a list of three doctors that do fills and post-op visits in Las Vegas so if you still need them please send me a private message!!!

Hi there!

I just found this site today and signed up,

I had my band emptied about 2 years ago and slowly allowed the weight to creep back so I would like to go in for a fill but just moved to Las Vegas and having a difficult time finding a Dr that will do adjustment.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions....

Dr. Umbach!!! He's AMAZING...i had my original surgery in NY with Dr. DiBenedetto, moved to vegas and found Dr Umbach...and then my first visit to see my family back in NY I had emergency surgery to have it removed...

Now that I have insurance again (almost 3 years later) I'm about to see Dr Umbach to finally get my lap band back. I still have the port....

When I first moved here to Vegas, I was looking for a surgeon to do my fills/unfills...I tried another office of a doctor who was the "top" dr in Vegas....the office was so rude, and they wanted $300 just to LOOK at my file....not even to take me as a patient........then I found Dr Umbach and was incredibly happy. I have even referred a few patients to him.
