Mexico lap band, Idaho fills??



Recommended Posts

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!

      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! 😞
