Im scheduled to have the Lap Band done in Mexico at the end of July. Im now trying to find follow up care and Fill doctors here. I live in Kalispell Montana (NW corner of this huge/rural state). I would like to find a doc here or can travel to Idaho, Washington or Canada. If anyone has any advice on how to find one or knows of one I would greatly appreciate any info.

Thanks

Dr Trotter in Spokane will do fills for Mexico patients. Not sure if he uses flouro.. Also Dr Heap in Richland, Wa. does fills he charges 130. w/o flouro..

I called Dr. Trotter in Spokane...he's looking at MX patients as a moneytree. First he wants to have an appt. to 'check' things out and charges $320 for that. Can't get a fill that day either. Then a fill is $250 and isn't done under fluro. If you want fluro the nurse said the hospital charges $100 (she thought). Pretty pricy. I'm going to the ladies in Arlington and may have to go see Dr. Heap if I need a fill during the winter since I don't often travel over the Cascades in the winter.
