Try Dr. Daryl Stewart Weight Loss Specialists of North Texas.... He's in Denton but he was saying he has filled Mexico pts and other pts from other drs. after they ended up not liking that dr.

940-382-9429

that would be awesome. I tried and it said everyone is away from the desk or something, might still be at lunch. Ill try in 15 minutes. Thanks for the info.

I left a message for the Nurse - Sue at 1 pm and at 3:45 pm. If they dont call back today, Ill follow up tomorrow. I have my fingers crossed.

Same ole BS. Well, actually new BS. I was told it would be unethical for this doctor to do my fills if my doctor was still practicing. They all sure have excuses dont they??

She said on rare occassions Dr. Stewart would see a patient referred to him, but not on a ongoing basis, I needed to find a fill center. Well, duh, thats what I wanted someone who would do fills on a cash basis.

Don't know if you have found a fill doctor or not, I was banded in Mexico and I use Dr. Stephanie for fills. She does mine in Tyler, $200.00. She only does them on Saturday. Her husband sets up the appointments for her. She does Tyler one weekend and Bryan/College Station the next. She is very sweet, has a lap-band herself so she knows the challenges and you don't have to convince her you need a fill. Her phone number is 1-903-520-8847. She does her fill with the f.scope.

Then Ill give her a call. Im about fed up with frustration.

His office just called me back, saying if I got a OP report from my doctor and then I went for some test to look down into my stomach, she thinks runs $400 or $500 then I could pay $1000 up front which would cover up to 5 fills :biggrin:

One more thought from a non-Texan. There is another "old-timer" on this site called Wasabubblebutt who was banded in Mexico and lives in Texas. I think she crosses the border for her fills as she is near the border, however she has been a big advocate of going to the well qualified Mexican docs and I bet she might have some good suggestion on Texas docs that might be willing to do the fills.

She might "suggest" that this should have been planned out before you were banded but but she is well meaning, if blunt at times.

Im a 12 hour car ride from El Paso, each way, so Im trying not to have to go back to my doctor with the price of gas.

As far as some old timer who would probably say I should have planned this out in advance, I do have the one doctor from the patient advocate in this area who will do it for $250, just was hoping for a better price. But from all the doors slammed in my face, sounds like that is who it will be.

Dr Marsden had an office in Hurst and one in Argyle. He is very good and superfast. I am not sure what his prices are, but he mentioned he does fills for Mexico surgeries. I am not sure how much they are, but here is his number:

940 464 2263 Good Luck!

4 of us DFW bandsters should carpool and share cost of hotel and just get filled across the border :wink2:) I went for my first fill in Eagle Pass with my surgeon this month and had an AWESOME experience. He used fluroscopy, numbing the port area before the fill. It was awesome to see my port and stomach on the monitor....I saw my guts!

lol, my doctor for free fills is in Juarez, over from El Paso. Id have to look at my Texas map, but dont think El Paso is next door to Eagle Pass, lol, but good idea, we cant have too many Texas border cities as portals??!!

Don't know if they take Mexico bandsters or not but UTSW is under $150 for a fill even with flouro.

Flowers, I did use Dr. Maese for a while but the drive to Dallas was three hours each way as I lived in Shreveport, LA. Someone on this site gave me the name of Dr. Kathleen Querry. She does fills in Marshall, TX which would be quite a ways for you but she also does fills in Paris, TX. You might check but I think Pais is closer than Tyler. Her fills are $130.00 w/o floro. If there is no fill the visit is only $30.00. I only have her Marshall phone #903-938-7200.
