Considering Bajanor Obesity Center in Tiajuana

I am definitely going to Mexico and Bajanor Obesity Center has a good package. Has anyone used them? Heard anything?
My concern is getting fills in Austin. I can't afford to fly to Mexico each time. It is good to hear referrals to US MDs for fills is working out. Is there any resistance to MDs here doing fills for surgeries done in Mexico? How much do they charge here for the fills?

Any information is appreciated.

Personally I would go with Dr. Ortiz and Obesity Control Center. I think he has a much better reputation. You can do a search on both.

Search on the Web for Fill Centers USA. They fill most bands for surgeons in Mexico and are lots of places in the US.

Bajanor v. Ortis

Thanks for the suggestion about Ortis. I will look more closely at them. So far, I am running into road blocks due to credit problems. We shall see.

Thanks for the advice.

I went to Dr. Ortiz on Jan 29th and am down 52 pounds so far. I went back for one fill so far. I found that going back for my first fill was so worth the money. I got a ticket for 212.00 and the fill was 100.00, the room 80.00 and the ride was some amount but can't remember right at the moment. But you can coordinate with other fill patients and share a room and/or a ride from the airport. The fill dr. here wanted 175.00 for a fill, 475.00 to take me on as a new patient for lab work etc. So I actually spent less going to Mexico for the first fill. Most drs here in America, I believe, do fills by feeling for the port. Dr. Ortiz has a dr that does the fills under xray light, to make sure he doesn't miss the port and to see if you need more or less in your fill. They have you drink while filling so they can see how much restriction is there and then you go eat and come back and be checked for restriction. I swear by them...best decision of my entire life. I have said many times over on many boards, I will never have elective surgery in an American hospital again after the care I received in Mexico. Absolutely awesome!!!
