Central Texas



Recommended Posts

I am going to get my surgery done in Mexico on June 7th. Does anyone know who will do fills in the Central Texas area. If not, Dallas or Houston area doctors would be helpful too.

Thanks.

Hi!

I'm also getting my Lband in Mexico on June 7th! Who is your doctor? Dr. Roberto Rumbaut is doing mine in Monterrey.

Where do you live? Do you have aftercare lined up? I found a dr in Richardson and in Houston who will do filld but I am nervous about any complications.

I live in San Antonio. I have been told that Dr. Rumbaut has an associate now in San Antonio who will do any aftercare.

Yes, I'm a little nervous, too, but I just keep coming to this board and read all the wonderful things that are going to be taking place afterwards. So, while I'm nervous, I'm also excited and waiting to get it over with.

My husband is going with me.

I go to Gerald Garwood in College Station. He is great. He is not a surgeon, But was trained to do fills, and assists Dr Benavides.

hi there...just wanted to let ya'll know to be very careful when selecting aftercare physicians who were not involved in your surgery. i know that dr garwood and dr benavides remind us quite often that it's getting more difficult for pt's who have the surgery in mexico to get quality aftercare because the physicians don't want to get involved with any possible complications that may arise due to "cheap fixes"....just make sure that ya'll find ones who are very reputable...good luck all

I AM FREAKING OUT. Are you?

I am going to Dr. Oritz in Tijuana.

I could really use a fellow Mexico lapband friend today.

Can you tell me which dr in Richardson does this?

I'm in Waco tooooooooo!!!!!!

All the Dr. I have contacted so far will not see me because I was banded in Mexico. So I will be going back to Monterrey in the next couple of weeks. I need a fill real bad, I dont even have restriction in the morning any more. I wish there was a fill Dr. in Waco.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
