HI all! I was banded in MX & i am looking for fill doctors in northeast LA or central MS. Thanks

Dr. Avara is in South MS. on the coast. I don't know if this does you any good, he is my Dr. and he is wonderful. If you need more info PM me.

Hi Louisiana Sergical Specialist in COvington, La or in Metarie is where i go. Where are you?

If you can't find a Doctor in Ms or La. My sister and I go to one in Nashville. I live near Memphis and She lives in V'burg MS He is great and does it under floro

Hi..I live near Memphis as well and had my surgery in Mexicali by Dr. Aceves..I was wondering how much the Dr. in Nashville charges for a fill?

Hi floydsgurl, Nice to have you here on this tread were do you live in Memphis? Your first visit cost the most $610. that includs consult fill and floro. each visit after that will run $400. I really like Dr. Houston he took a lot of time with me and answer all question. At first I thought he had an attitude because he is very to the point, but before the consult was over he became a Doctor that I felt I had been seeing forever very funny and caring.....

Hi wanttobethin1...Thanks for the welcome..and thanks for the info on Dr. Hughs..I don't live in Memphis..I live 45 miles away in Hickory Flat,Mississippi..just down Hwy 78...My mom and sister live in Millington so I go there a good bit..The dr in Nashville charges a bit much..We just got back from Mexico yesterday(my mom and I..she is banded to)it was cheaper for us to fly back there and have the fill done there..It was both of our 1st fill..I got 1.4cc and she got 1.7cc...Talk to ya later..

Can you fly, eat, hotel and have fill cheaper than $400. I checked flights and the fill which was $100. I couldn't find it that cheap. Besides I would have to take two days of and I want to save as much of my time as possible. let me know if you can and what flight you are taking.

It didn't turn out to be much cheaper.(in the long run)..We paid $231.00 r/t for the plane tickets,$25.00 for the rental car,but what got us was finding a hotel for the night..it cost us $127.00 for the night in San Diego..But we did find a Dr. in Jackson,MS that charges $200. per fill w/o fluro..

I went to one there does he do it under floro. The one I went to did not and I chose to find one that would and found out that I had a swollen esphagus five time the size of what it should be. I have to be very careful and make sure I only eat certain foods or it will burst. I would have never know this until it happened because the Doctor in Jackson said I did not need to have this done. I wish you good luck and lets keep in touch.

No he doesn't use floro..I don't like that,but i just can't afford to pay Dr. Hugh's $610 plus gas to get there..I am about 3 hrs. from Nashville and Jackson,MS.. The dr. in Jackson's name is Dr. Carroll I just had my 1st fill so hopfully it will be a while before i need another one...I might be able to afford that later..As of right now i'm unemployed..I go back to work on the 28th of this month..I drive a preschool bus...Sorry to ramble...LOL..have a good night

He is the same one that I saw. I wish you good luck with you weight and job hunt.

Dr. Wagih Mando does fills in his Kenner office...no fluoro and no local. Went first time. took out my 2 cc and put in 3 total. No change in eating. Drove back (four hours one way) and got a total of 5 cc in 10 cc French midband. Hurt like *&^% wth no local. Will go to Mexico for next fill to be put on fluoro.

But it was cheap...$180.

Hi there,

I live near Memphis too and I'm planning to check with a Doc in L.R. soon about fills. That's a little closer than Nashville. I haven't been too impressed with what I've heard about the Nashville Doc.

Have you hooked up with a support group in Memphis?

I've tried with no luck yet.

Banded 9/13/06, Looking for first fill soon.
