Hello! I had the surgery on June 2 with Dr Kuri in TJ. You have probably heard it before but he is beyond fantastic. Just went down to get my first fill with him and everything was great. I do want to see if I can find a doctor closer to home for fills though for convenience. Does anyone know of a doctor in MA or New England even that will do fills for Mexican banded patients?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

I went to Dr Fiallo in Springfield( Baystate), and he is excelent!!! Im sure he does fills for people who had the surgery in MX but im not positive. He is VERY good!

Thanks I will give them a call!!!!!

Yes I live in Boston but am moving to Southbridge. I am really hoping to find a fill doctor here that will do flouro thats not super expensive

just made an appt with dr Pecquex!! yay!

hmmm i guess not so much... my appointment got cancelled via a voicemail message saying that "something came up" and they would call me back when they had Dr Pecquex scehdule. Well no call for 3 days so I call and then all of the sudden she has changed her policy and will no longer do fills for patients having surgery not in US. Nice, I waited a month and they probably would never even called me back. Now I am back to square one.

Ok Dr Fiallo says he will take me! Cross your fingers my appr is 9/15, lets hope I don't get a call the day before! Now I am worried!

good luck!im keeping my fingers crossed for you! theyve never called out on me so heres hoping!

yay dr fiallo! went on thursday, VERY nice and his staff was very nice as well. Still not feeling much restriction (this is my second fill), but it will sure be a lot easier to go back no that I can stay in MA and the US!!

call umass/memorial weight center they have three doctors doing lap bands and they might be able to help you the hospital in in worcester ma
