Hello, I am getting ready for my surgery in Mexico and am now finding that most doctors here won't do fills for Mexico patients. I went to www.fillcentersusa.com but their closest location is about 4 hours away. I also found out that the Surgical Weight Loss Center in Tacoma will do them but at $400 a fill!!! Does anyone know of a location in Western Washington that does fills for Mexico patients at a lower price than that?? Thanks!!

All of my fills have been done by doctors. I might trust a nurse practitioner or a physician's assistant to do a fill, but no one else.

My husband, a certified Physician Assistant, did my last fill and will do any and all that I need in the future.

Damn, that's convenient!!! Lucky you.

My surgeon does my fills and the RN is always there...okay by always, i mean the two times I've had a fill/unfill. But as I understand it, Dr. Hess will always be the one to do the actual fills.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
