Hello Everyone,

I'm looking for a fill Dr in Central or Northern Calif if at all possible. I'm a Mexio patient and not having very good luck locally. All info is appreciated!! Thank you!!:biggrin:

Hi. Have you tried Dr. Edward Felix in Freso? He also has an associate but I can't think of his name of hand or locate the info right how. My friend has gastric bypass done by him and said he's an excellent doctor.

I was banded in Mexico on 6-5-08.I live in Virginia.The closest facility that will do a fill under fluroscopy is in New Jersey with a price tag of $365 and 7 hours of driving,not including my gas at $4 a gallon to get there.I have decided to fly back to Mexico for the fill.My plane ticket and the $279 fee for the fill in Mexico is still $6 cheaper than if i drove to Jersey.Isn't that nuts??The $279 fill in Mexico at the clinic I went to also includes the shuttle service to and from San Diego airport and 1 night stay in that fabulous Hotel Lucerna.

I've heard of Dr Felix as far as I know he won't do a fill on patients, that weren't his originally. I know he has an extremely busy practice, people come from all over for his help. But it doesn't hurt to ck again. Thanks

My Dr is in TJ, but it's a 5-6 hour drive one way depending on traffic, w/gas $4.56 a gallon and the pain of cross the border, I'd love to find someone just a bit closer in CA. I was really hoping there would be someone locally for me or at least maybe someone in SF or Sacramento. Wishing you well and safe travel.

I didnt realize you were having surgery in a little over a week. I wish you well. Where are you having surgery at?
