I had my lap band done 09/28/06 I have lost 20lbs.:clap2: I'm getting my first fill 11/16/06 in Snowflake. :nervous Had my lap band done in Mexico. The only thing hard is trying to find a local doctor that will do fill. :help: Does any one in Phoenix or close by know of one? the one in Snowflake is 175 miles away.

Hi Theresa, I am not in AZ, I am in NM. I can't help you with the Dr. question, I just wanted you to know there are people out here listening to your question!!! Sometimes it takes longer with a specific question and area, so give it a few days and I hope you get some answers.

Good Luck and welcome to Bandland!!

hi theresa, im in phoenix too. i had my lap band put in by dr. huacuz one year ago. ive lost 80lbs. sounds like you are off to a good start. i dont know anyone who does fills here. i go to tj for mine. you can always carpool with some of the girls here. there are 3 of us that go for fills. good luck with your band. im so happy with mine. i look thin again. feel great.

Are you getting your fill with Wendy Hall? If so I know she goes to the valley once a month. It's somewhere in Mesa. You might want to call her or her daughter Tammi to see when she is going down.

I live about 15 miles from Snowflake.

Just thought I would send a shout out and see if there was anyone else on here from az? hoping I might find someone from my dr. or around the same time as me? Im in gilbert a stay at home mom with 3 kids and 35 (almost 36) years old.

I heard about wendy hall, but she's not a Dr. Anyone with experience with her?

Hi Manzanyta, I have had nothing but the BEST experiences with Wendy Hall and her daughter Tammi. I have had a total of 6 fills and unfills with her and she NEVER misses my port. She does not use fluro but she always does a great job. She is registered with "Fill centers U.S.A."

Her cost in snowflake is $75.

I think you would like her.

Good luck :eek:

Thanx Coyotegirl... i appreciate the info, especially being new to the Phoenix area!

We'll be in touch!

Hi gals! I live in Phoenix and had surgery with Dr. Simpson. I have not had a fill yet, but may soon.

Jack, you are way too funny. My boss lives in NJ and he can travel an hour and be in another state. Here you can't even get across the city in that time.

:welcome2: to BandLand....

I'm only about a 3 day drive from Phoenix.....and haven't been there in nearly 30 years....I hear it's bigger....

HaHaHa.... I just moved here in 2004, it's GROWN since then! If it's been 30 years you won't recognize it for sure!
