Hello all!

I have recently moved to the Dallas area and am currently trying to find a doctor in the area that will do an adjustment on my band. I was banded in 2002 in Mexico with Dr. Sanchez. I got information about a Dr. Jay, but I just found out after calling that I have to wait 4 WEEKS before I can come in to be adjusted!!! I have not had an adjustment in over 4 years. In this time I have given birth, nursed my son for 15 months, and put on a good thirty pounds. I do not want to wait another month and put on more weight in this time or not have the money to keep my appointment. If anyone out there knows of a doctor in Houston or in Dallas that will do an adjustment (under flouro) on a patient banded in Mexico sooner than March or if anyone has an earlier appointment with Dr. Jay (Like next week or the week after) and they would like to switch dates with me I'd appreciate it. Please--I need to have this band I paid thousands for help me drop some weight.

Also, if you know of ANY doctors in Texas that will do fills on foreign banded patients under flouro--please inform me--I'm willing to drive!

do I sound frantic? LOL...

Thanks for reading!

Arnissha..it may be hard for you to find a surgeon who will do fills on you; you might want to make the appt. with Dr. Jay and then cancel it if you find someone else. I understand that you are anxious but if you've had the band since 2002 you know what to do and can start getting "restriction ready" in the next four weeks. I read over and over about people having problems finding fill docs if they have their surgery away from "home". Barring that, can you fly back to wherever/whomever WAS doing your fills all this time? Good luck!

He is the best in Dallas!

I live in oklahoma and I had my band done in Mexico. The doctor that I use to do my fills is Dr. Jayaseelan in Dallas, Tx. He is great and the staff is wonderful. His office number is 972-566-2263. His clinic is the Bariatic Clinic of Dallas. They even do fills on certain Saturdays.

Hope this helps.

www.drdkim.net Check out Dr. David Kim in Colleyville.

I found this site on here: www.fillcentersusa.com because I am looking for a fill doctor near my home instead of going to Mexico where I had the surgery done each time I need a fill. Maybe you can locate one on here??

dr david kim is amazing.............colleyville

Dr Adam Smith in Ft Worth is AMAZING! He does every fill under flouro... and even has Saturday appointments.

I may be a little late--but you can keep in mind for next time. I get my fills at the radiology clinic in Paris (RRRC). The radiologist does it under flouro--$350--does a very good job. There are 3 different ones who do it--i have had 2 of them--both did a good job. My band was in Mty also and they have never had any qualms about it. Usually I can call and get in the next day

Hi Mary,

Can you give a phone number - I have family in Paris so it would be easy for me to get there from Dallas. I need my first fill.

thank you!
