Fill doctors in Austin, TX?

Hi everyone.

I got my lapband in July from Dr. Rumbaut in Monterrey, MX.

I don't want to have to go back for fills, so I went to Dr. Rincon in San Antonio.

He was o.k., but his office procedures were crazy! (He got hung up in surgery and I had to wait 4 hours, he has surgery every day and doesn't schedule visits until after so there's no guarantee that this won't happen again.)

My first fill was only 1 1/2 ccs and, honestly, it didn't do much. I was able to eat pizza this week. I know I shouldn't eat pizza - that's a whole other topic - but I feel like I probably shouldn't be able to.

Anyway - looking for a fill doc in Austin, TX if anyone has recommendations.
And, what's the average cost? Dr. Rincon charged me $250 (I pay out of pocket) and that seemed a little steep.

Thanks!

I go to Dr. Esquivel in Austin. Not sure of the cost, insurance pays for mine. Hope this helps.
