arizona doctor willing to do fills for mexican band patients.



Recommended Posts

I had a lap band placed by Dr. Ortz in Mexicao several years ago as my insurance did not cover it. I have not had a fill for quite some time, but feel the time is right to have one. I live in thehoenix area and have breen searching. Can you help me? Jerenda Ford

It looks to me like Dr. Simson only does his own patients.

I don't know if they do fills on non-surgery patients, but check with Banner Gateway in Mesa (Gilbert?), St. Luke's Bridges in Phoenix and/or Scottsdale Healthcare -- all are Bariatric Centers of Excellence (I believe) and may be of help...

Jerenda Ford,

There are two great fill providers for you. I have used them both numerous times as well as many of my other friends who are banded. Both get you on the first stick and both are great at what they do.

Randy Hamilton who is an NP. He comes to you. 480-363-8654

Wendy Hall who is also an NP. She has an office in Mesa but she is only there 2-3 Saturdays a month. Her main office is up in Snowflake. 928-409-0039

Dr. Simpson sees other patients as well. I was banded in Mexico. Go to him. He provides more than just a fill. His guidance and care are invaluable. He cares and is more than just a needle.

If Dr. Simpson takes Mexico banded then he just started. He never used to. In addition, he is super expensive. Randy is about $100-120 and Wendy is $100. They both care as well. I have had Randy move heaven and earth to get to me when I was filled too tight once (my own fault) and needed someone asap. Both are wonderful practioners.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
