Mexico lap band, Idaho fills??

I had my lap band surgery in Mexico in 2007. I need to know if there is any doctors locally, Boise, Meridian or Nampa area that do fills for Mexico patients. Anyone know? Thanks. PS, I know about Pocatello, don't want to go that far if I don't have to.

I had my surgery in mexico and was able to get my fill in Las Vegas, NV (which is closer to my home in St. George, UT). I know that there is a fill center in Boise, ID. Go to fill centers usa on the web.

What part of Idaho do you live in? I was raised in Burley, Idaho and have lived in Driggs, Idaho as well.

I know that you are not interested in a fill in Pocatello, Idaho, however, if you change your mind and are a Fill Centers member, please contact Fill Centers, if you are not, please contact my office at 208-233-9355. Thank you so much. NP, Cyndi Rice

I have not had my surgery yet. Waiting for money but, I was approved to have it. I have chosen Mexico to have it done at. I live in Boise and I would be willing to drive to Pocatello to have fills if I had to. It's closer then going back to Mexico. I rather do them here in Boise though... I guess there are fill places in Portland. But, the flight expense. I don't know. I need to get all my ducks in a row before I get this surgery...........

Ok, I just called Cyndi with the number in Pocatello that "Rice Fill" gave. The prices are way better then what I have been searching for in other places. I think I have my fill center without a plane ticket........ yeahhh... Ok, now for the money to get this surgery............. I can wash cars.. "giggle"....

To bad I didn't have mine done yet or I would suggest we get a car pool going.... None in Boise as of yet.

I am just curious as to how much it costs for a fill in Pocatello? That is near by home town of Burley. It would give me a good excuse to travel to Idaho!!!!

I called and the first visit is $300 and each one after is $150..... I have searched a few and these are the cheaper prices.. I was thrilled.

Thanks!! I go to the fill center in Las Vegas, Nevada and I pay $165.00 a fill and had to pay $360 for the initial visit. It's good to know that the prices are comparable.

Yes it is. I just wish I had my surgery NOW! Waiting for bills to get paid and then I will get it done. Frustrating!
