GREAT FILL DOCTORS IN LOUISIANA!!!! CALL FOR APPT 225-673-8983 ASK FOR DANA

Dr. Curtis and Dr. Wells in Prairieville//Baton Rouge area were trained by Dr. Sanchez in Monterrey Mexico. They do fills using xray and charge 250.00 for the first and 200.00 there after. They are so caring and really want to help us bandsters. If anyone needs a fill please call them. They will fill anyone.....most doctors only fill their patients that they banded themselves. You will love them.

New policy/fees for Drs. Wells and Curtis:

LAP-BAND FILL POLICY

EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2004

Tina T. Wells, M.D. and Elizabeth B. Curtis, M.D.

17505 Old Jefferson Highway

Prairieville, La 70769

Ph (225) 673-8983

Fax (225) 677-8983

1. The price for all fills will be $300.00 per fill. This price includes the facility fee, the physician fees, and all supplies.

2. For all patients getting their first fill after their surgery they will get a maximum of 4cc in their band if they have the 11cc band.

3. All fills are done under fluoroscopy under the supervision of both physicians without exception. This is done to ensure that complications are minimized and results are maximized.

4. We will offer a one-time discount fill to patients who do not feel restriction after they have a fill. For example if you come for a fill in January and pay $300 and do not feel restriction, you can schedule to come back in February and we will repeat your fill for $150. If these patients feel they need to come back in March for another fill the cost will again be $300. The discount is only extended until the next schedule date that we do the fills. We will be doing fills on average once a month.

(EXCEPTION: Patients getting their first fill after surgery get max 4cc – restriction is not expected).

5. We rent a fluoroscopy facility for these procedures so all these procedures must be scheduled through Dana at our office. The frequency averages once a month but the dates change. The fills will ALWAYS be done on Friday afternoon between 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.

We have worked out the kinks and hope these changes can accommodate more patients.

Thank you and good luck!

Tina T. Wells, M.D. Elizabeth B. Curtis, M.D.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
