Just moved, need a Dr. in MS, AL or FL who will adjust band.



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery in 2004 in Mexico. I've had no complications. I just had a baby and need to get adjusted. I need to find a Dr. who will perform my fill even though I had surgery elsewhere. Can anyone provide info.? The South Mississippi Surgical weight loss center will for $1500 for one year of treatment, but that's a little steep.:confused2:

I don't know my doctor's plans for outside patients (if they take them, I mean), but he's in Anniston,AL which is south Alabama. It would be worth asking them, their office and the doc are wonderful and always available by phone for questions.

And they don't charge ridiculous amounts for fills.

Freeman & Company Bariatric Center is his website, contact is on there. Good luck :tongue:

I live in South MS and am being banded in Mexico 2 weeks from today. I am also looking for someone to do my fills other than Dr. Avara..that price is crazy! Let me know if you find anyone. I have called all the way from Mobile to New Orleans with no luck.

I am planning on being banded by Dr. Ortiz april 7, carolyn w/ ortiz looked up a dr. lord in pensacola fl. she said he would do fills. I spoke to his office today, they didn't sound like they were too interested in doing it. one girl there said you had to have been banded a year before he would see you. Someone was supposed to call me back, but they haven't.

I seem to recall Dr. Lord mentioning at his seminar that he would not do fills for people who were banded in Mexico. Pensacola also has Baptist Hospital, which does WLS. In Santa Rosa County, which about 30-45 min east of Pensacola, there is a hospital there that does WLS--Santa Rosa Medical Center, I believe. You might call either of those places to ask about it.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
