Fill Center USA but I do not think there is one near you but you may want to call them to see if they can help.

I heard someone tell me that you don't have to tell them where you had your procedure...

I have a copy of my operative report, explaining exactly what was done inside. It is in ENGLISH. However, I have a doc who's very happy taking care of me... wow and he's handsome too. hehe

Anyway, I know there are docs out there willing to do your post op care such as labs, etc.

I have Kaiser and had absolutely no problems with them treating me, they have been great. But, one thing that one of my docs told me was that I am very fortunate I have Kaiser, as not all insurance companies will treat you. I kinda find that hard to believe, because if you run into some sort of infection or open wound issue, they can't just let you fend for yourself. But in terms of a revision, they won't cover that, which is understandable.

I just returned from Mexico for my Lap Band today! One of the ladies at the clinic with me had returned to get the Sleeve because she couldn't find a fill doctor. I made sure I had a couple lined up before I left. I know some doctors are very anti Mexican/out of country weight loss surgery, which is very sad. The whole point of this is to become healthy.
