Help finding new doctor in Mexico

HELP! I need to find a new doctor in Mexico. I had lap band surgery in Tijuana and am having problems with my doctor. I need a fill and would like to go to someone new. Also, I will be in Puerto Vallarta May 9-13 if anybody has a suggestion for a doctor there.

Thank you

Hi, sorry about the problem you are having with your doctor.

You can get a fill just about anywhere in the US....many doctors do them and there is also a group of doctors that belong to fillcenters, a place that does adjustments.

What state are you located and maybe someone can referr you to someone.

Thank you for your response. I live in the Los Angeles area. I have not had any luck finding someone in the US to do a fill. I appreciate any help.

I will give them a call. I heard they were very expensive but I'll check

thanks again for all your help!

He's cheaper than most docs around here.

$349 for the first visit and $165 for each visit after that. And that includes the adjustment fill or unfill.

Wow, that sounds great. Much cheaper than driving to TJ.

Thanks so much for responding, I really appreciate the help.

If you don't find anything from that list I have more lists I can check. Just PM me.

Many doctors are getting much better about filling Mexican banded folks and the list grows daily.
