Banded in Mexico, Living in New Jersey?



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled to be banded by Dr. Arturo Rodriguez in Mexico next month, and I am trying to find doctors that will conduct the aftercare and fills in New Jersey when I return. To all you Jerseyans out there, who are you going to to handle your fills and aftercare? I would like to have the doctors or fill centers lined up before I do the surgery. I understand it can be difficult to find US doctors to do fills on patients who had their band done in Mexico.

I live in Somerset Cty, but am willing to travel throughout the state. Do you know of any places in Jersey?

Where in NJ are you ?

Hi - I am going to Mexico to have my surgery on 8/28 (Dr. Ortiz) I'm planning to have my fills in Southern New Jersey - there is a fill center in Mount Laurel (look up fillcenter.com) -- it's about 10 miles from Philly. If you're in Northern NJ a few good fill doctors are mentioned somewhere here in Manhattan who will take Mexico patients.

Toni, sorry I don't know of any doctors that will take you but thats not to say there aren't any. You might want to call your local hospitals and see if they know anyone who will be willing to do your after care. Its a good place to start.

Hi Tonia!

Dr. Rod was great. Are you having your surgery at Santa Engracia or Christus? I had mine at Christus. I am starting to feel good:). You probably are on your way by now - so good Luck! When you are down there or when you get back let me know.

Hi jkeirn. I am back and banded! You were right, Dr. Rod is great; so is Marisol; so is everybody. I had my surgery at San Pedro which was nice, so I can only imagine how wonderful Christus was. You are about a week and a half out; how do you feel? I feel beter than I did yesterday and the day before, but still not 'normal' ya know. Kind of 'gassy' and like I need to burp or something. Has that feeling gone away for you yet? How did you manage during the liquids week? I need to run out and get some creamed Soups. The broths I bought just leave me starving!

Dr. George Fielding of NYU Hospital in New York City will take care of you. He is known worldwide. It is easy to take the train into Penn Station and grab a cab . I sometimes have walked to the hospital. Google him and you will see his credentials. You must be seen monthly in the first year . Or every eight weeks or so. If you have any questions post them to me!

Thanks Kelly! I've seen Dr. Fielding's name throughout the posts, but didn't know he would care for Mexico patients. I will give him a call!

How much does Dr. Fielding charge for fills/visits?

And how was your experience with Dr. Rumbaut? Did he help you set up aftercare?

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
