Dr. Miranda just emailed me and told me that I needed a liquid diet a week before. I am 268lbs. That is going to be tough. But i'll get through it.

Is anyone here that is getting lap banded in mexico and lives in florida? I need to find someone here in florida to do my fills and I haven't been successful yet. Does anyone have any suggestions? I dont want to fly back and forth to mexico everytime i need a fill. I understand i need to for the first one but after that i would like to get it done here.

Hello, I am having surgery with Dr. ortiz on the 22nd of this month. hopefully it'll go well. i have heard good things about him.

After getting my first fill in Mexico does anyone know of any doctors in the Florida Area who will do fills. I asked one today and he said his insurance will not allow him to do fills on patients who had their procedure done by a foriegn doctor.

Do most patients do all their fills with Dr. Ortiz? Going back and forth to Mexico seems like it would be expensive. How much is it everytime you get a fill and how often does the average person have to get one?

I am having my surgery on Sept 22nd. IM so excited but after talking to that other doctor here in florida I am a little worried about the fills. He told me to think twice before getting surgery in mexico because by the time i go to mexico to get all my fills that it will cost just as much as it does here in the U.S. ANy suggestions out there. I would love to hear anyone else's experience with this and getting fills.

thanks
