I am getting banded on 2/3 and was wondering generally how often are fills needed? Also, since I am getting banded in Mexico I recently found out that not all surgeons take Mexico patients and I will either have to pay $400 a fill or drive 3.5 hours to the nearest www.fillcenterusa.com location. Any suggestions?? What is the furthest driving distance you'd go for a fill??

I would definitley drive 3.5 hours for a fill. You will find them necessary. I have had 5 fills in almost 8 months. I don't know what your restriction level will be so its hard to tell. Good luck.

Just like Juliegeraci said, there's no way of knowing how many fills you will need. But, you WILL most likely need at least a few so it's a good idea that you're planning it out ahead of time.
