I have heard people flying to Mexico for fills, but what other things are your option?

My daughter gets hers in Washington state from a clinic. There are private clinics and doctors that are willing to treat Mexican patients, but there are many also who will not.

Also, Fill Centers USA has 30 clinics nationwide that cater to Mexican bandsters. You can check out their website to see if there is one near you.

Fill Centers USA - Lap Band Fill - Lap Band Support - Lap Band Post Surgery - Weight Loss Surgery - Fill Center USA - LapBand Adjustments - Bariatric Surgery - LapBand Fill

I've never used them, as I live close enough to Tijuana to drive over for my fills.

If you are thinking of getting surgery in Mexico you should do some research and make sure there is someone close enough for you to get to for fills and unfills.

I know the surgeon I used in MX gave me a list of fill doc in the US that work with MX banders so I could contact one in my area and set up my after-care before I had surgery. Fill Centers USA is always an option too. They have many locations. Just check into it first. I went to MX and had a wonderful experience. PM me if you want more info...Good Luck!

Getting fills and getting a doctor to take you on as a patient r are 2 different things ! There r docs that will take mexican bandsters , my doc is one of them. However, they require certain things from the patients. ANd i HIGHLY Suggest you find a doc who fill take you BEFORE you go and find out what they want from you out of Mexico .

Some US docs wont touch you if you were banded but certain mexican docs ! Fill center USA will take nearly anyone from what i understand.

However i believe everyone banded in Mexico or not should have after care by a doctor lined up and that can be difficult to find .

Bottomline DO IT BEFORE YOU GO TO MEXICO .
