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 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! 😞
