hi my fellow bandsters. one of the er doctors i work with is willing to go to mexico with me to my doctor, to learn how to do fills and unfills. are there many people in the phoenix area that would be interested in using this doctor instead of going to mexico. id like feedback.

i had a bad episode of gerd last week and went to the er. i was lucky that this great doc was working, he offered to take some fill out if i told him what to do. i knew what to do and walked him through it. thank god, i was completely swelled shut . anyone interested in learning more can pm me. id like to let him know . i think it is great also to know there is a er doc that "gets it", and you can go to in an emergency. he is willing to learn and provide the service if enough people are interested. it would be cheaper and less time consuming than the trip to mexico. :clap2:

Hi there! I'm looking for a nurse practioner with lap band adjustment experience in the long beach or San Pedro area! Thanks! If interested please respond and I'll send my email and cell #

Are any of you still going to Mexico for fills, to Aceves specifically? If so, do ya'll pass through Yuma? I'd love to go.

I am in need of a fill but it's been so long since I've been to see Dr. Aceves and I'm unsure of the passport issues now, I'd love to have a buddy to go with.

Thanks!

In the state of AZ, nurse practitioners are recognized as primary care providers and are not required to practice "under the umbrella of a physician's care".

Randy, such advertisements are not welcome here.

Beyond that, you leave yourself open to some major legal issues if ANYthing were to go wrong... and I mean ANYthing. You could be found responsible for pretty much anything that goes wrong with a person's band because you are not doing it under the umbrella of a physician's care.

There is a NP who lives in Mesa who may be willing to take Tucson patients. He may charge more for the drive. You may want to call him. His name is Randy Hamilton and he is great. He does my fills/unfill's in Phoenix. He drives to my house to do it. 480.363.8654.

Have u guys asked tru results? Just curious there is one in Tucson and Scottsdale!

So, any recommendations for a Doc in Phoenix area for those banded in Mexico? This thread is pretty old...

OMG YES!!!!!!! There is only a handful right now and the cost is insane. We need someone in the area so bad. He would be the busiest Dr. in PHX I can tell you that. I for sure would use him. Hell I need him now. Please let me know if he decides to do this. I live in Cottonwood and there is nobody up here.

I use Dr. Terry Simpson. He is amazing. Look into using him. Without him, I would not have lost 85 pounds so far!

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.
