Hello everyone,

Well I have been lurking around reading lots of interesting, and insightful posts. But, I have finally decided to go ahead and join the group. I am just north of Dallas, and am considering LapBand. I will be self pay, and am nearly finished saving up. I do have some questions though. :wink2: Does anyone know of a place to get fills near Dallas if I get the surgery done in Mexico? Thank you everyone for your help. I am so excited, and yet nervous at the same time!! :wub::tongue2:

TEXAS RULES! lol. I had my surgery done in Dallas and it was great. Not sure about where to get the fills tho. I don't know if all docs do that if you have the surgery done somewhere else?? Good luck!

Welcome! I'm north of Dallas too (in McKinney). Unfortunately, I don't know of any places to get fills, but I just wanted to say "HI!"

hey just wanted to stop by and say hi.. another texan right here (mesquite/garland) area. let me know how the sugery goes in mexico? I'm in lingo on where i'm wanting to get mine done at.

Hi guys,

Thanks for responding. I just wanted to let you know I am in Plano.:tongue2:

Did anyone here have their surgery at Trinity Medical Center in Carrollton?

I Am being banded in Mexico in Nov. and had to find a FillDoc 120 miles from my home..People seem to post so many problems and when the Dr. soing your surgery is not your Dr after surgery is kind of scary. I am going to Mex. because I don't have 100 lbs to lose and can't get it done here. I am excited but so hope I don't have complications I read about...any regrets??

No regrets yet. But I've only been banded a month. I wish I was feeling restriction tho. I didn't know that I wouldn't feel restriction until I started on my fills. Guess I didn't ask enough questions. But so far so good!

I am from the Frisco area and I did my surgery with iVital. They might be a place to consider for fills. I was self pay and one price pay for all (surgery and fills). I highly recommend this organization though. They are located off of the Tollway & Chapel Hill Near WillowBend Mall.

Hey eveyone i'm for denison texas and going to have my surgery on 10-29-2008. You might give my dr a call because i have a friend that had her"s done in mexico and he is seeing her now. Dr cernero -903-868-0133 ext 2 or 3.
