Wanting to hook up with anyone that has been banded and is living in the San Diego area.
There are only two doctors in this area that will do a fill for anyone banded in Mexico and was wondering if anyone local has used either one. :help: |

I did not have mine done in Mexico. But you might try my doctor. George Mueller 858 565 0104. It is worth asking right?

If the price is reasonable and he/she uses floro, then I may consider going locally rather than traveling to TJ. But, of course, I want a reccomendation from someone who has used the doctor. I don't want some yahoo, that doesn't really know what they're doing.

Cardiff is a bit far I believe.
What do they charge for a fill?

I will be banded in San Diego on Jan. 15th by Dr. Horgan at UCSD Medical Center. I would assume that he would do fills even if the procedure was done somewhere else. I believe that he said fills were $250 each but I am not absolutely sure about that #.

I was also banded by Dr. Horgan at UCSD, but I believe some, if not all of us, are part of scientific study, ie clinical trials with the robotic procedure. I would not be surprised that they do not fill persons who are not part of their study groups, since they are not a private business.
On the other hand, I believe UCSD is a Medicaid hospital and may have a "community" orientation.
It's worth a phone call.
My surgery was Jan. 30 and I feel pretty good. I wanted a surgeon I could trust to give me the best chance for this to succeed. I liked the ability to have easy, ready, professional follow-up. I liked having a LOT of doctors and staff to work with.
It cost more. I had to pay on my own, but I'm paying for a new life.
Best to you.

I'm getting banded on Tuesday by Dr. Mueller as well. I believe they charge $250 for a fill.
Hey Gus 123...how are you doing post-op? Dr. Mueller and team are so great, huh?

I was banded by Dr. Huacuz in Tiajuana, Mexico by Dr. Huacuz. I actually flew back to get a fill.... He uses fluorscopy.. I only went down there because my fill location here in the States couldn't get me in as soon as I needed. Call them (619)-270-5388.... They're really nice & will pick you up at the border or the San Diego Airport
