All I want is a Fill - The Story continues

The last time I posted something positive was the week after my banding on 6/1 and I had lost ten pounds. Who ever said things will get better obviously has never tried to get a fill in TX after having the surgery done in Mexico. The first attempt cost me $360 in non-refundable airline ticket after the appointment was cancelled. Then I waited three weeks for fill appointment with another Doctor 2 hours away. After taking half day off, spending 2.5 hours in the office waiting to see the Doctor, they cancelled my appointment and then re-scheduled me for an appointment the third week of August. If you get your fill in TX, or along the border, and your doctor will do fills on patients other than his/her own please let me know who and where they are located. This has been an ordeal and about ready to pen a novel on the difficulties of getting fills for the SOB (South of the Border) bandsters. I swear I am going to eventually add a picture and something positive one of these days!

Therisa, I don't live in TX but I am pretty sure dr aceves has a doctor in texas who does fills for mexican bandsters. when i was going to have my surgery they provided a list of doctors that do take patients who had the band in Mexico, unfortunately I don't have it anymore. If you want you can ask them at www.mexicolapband.com , I will ask as well and will let you know, don't get discouraged this is not the hardest part, you've done the hardest part! Sandy

Thanks for your support. Third times the Charm. I have an appointment with Dr. Rodriquez on Monday. Hopefully all will go well. Therisa

I am sure you won't be let down this time, Dr.Aceves office recommended you go to him, I trust them so I am sure you will finally get your fill. Be ready to start losing weight big time again! Sandy dr aceves

Sorry I didn't post sooner. I received my first fill (2cc) on 8/2 and Dr. Rodriquez was great! Thanks again for the information!!!!!!
