Their is a new fill doctor in Nederland Texas...I called and they said the first consultation is 150.00....and fills are 100.00 insurance covers the consutlation..but wont cover fills if the band is done by someone else...

His name is Don Schmitt...Not sure if last name is spelt right ...his number is 409-721-5150

Missy,

Thanks for the info.

is it $100 a fill? or is that what they bill your insurance comp?

that is what they charge you, insurance wont cover it since you had surgery with someone else.....

Will he also do aftercare if needed.

I suppose so...if he wants to charge for inital consultation...

I just called the doctor's office, and he won't do fill's for anyone banded in Mexico.

Just FYI

Help!

Does anyone know of a fill doctor in Texas, preferably Houston area, that will do fills for Mx. patients?

I need to know very quickly...I would drive anywhere at this point.

Thanks!!

I have two numbers and one of them is in Houston. I'm in the Dallas area and was given these numbers. I know they both do patients banded in Mexico and the price was $150. I'll give you both numbers and you can call them to see which is in Houston.

Wish Center 888-870-9474

Dr. Marvin 800-664-9177

If these don't work, I have several in the Dallas area that will do it.

Beware those who don't do bands but feast on the harvest of opportunity (banded patients in need.) If these people don't know the band well, they can do more harm than good... just my 2 cents..

I am also from the Houston area but am not quite ready for a fill yet (with in the next 3 weeks). Therefore, will probably need to go ahead and schedule with someone soon (banded in Mexico). Leatha, you message above scares me....how am I gonna know if the Dr. I schedule with will be a good one?..

Any thoughts?

Thanks!............Cyndi
