Recommended Posts

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.

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! :)

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.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
