He does have a great reputation, and lots of people here have been banded by him. He was very careful with my first fill, for which I'm grateful. And his associate Dr. Baptista was good, too. No complaints here.

Zoe this was excellent information. I go for my first fill today and I am nervous, scared and excited. My doctor is going to try to fill for the area and if he can't find it we will do floro. I had a upper gi 2 weeks ago so I think he looks at that to get an idea of where my port is and then try it.

Thank you agin for all the great information.

Jump Start Fill
I just got back from Tajuana for a Jumpstart fill. Its a new way to get you going when the weight stops coming off. They filled me really good, and I waited 2 days and they did it again, I have already lost another 7 pounds since Friday September 16 until today. I only need to lose 35 more pounds for my body lift.. These guys have been so great to me. I can't believe in April I weighed 351, and now 235....sorry for tooting my own horn, but I love Betancourt Medical and Dr. Lopez, not the other Dr. Lopez and Andres has taken great care of me through out the whole thing..

WOW Shirly are you able to eat and drink ok? Good Luck with your body lift.

I had my first fill, I had my first fill. It wasn't thatttttt bad. He numbed it and then dove in looking for the port. It took a while but he eventually found it and I am now the proud owner of 1.3 cc's in a 4cc band.

Shirley, did I read right? You got one fill & then another one 2 days later? I've never heard of that cause it takes quite a few people a couple of weeks to know how the fill is really working. How much did you get each time.

BTW, I thought $175/fill was a lot. I guess it's a steal, & with a good person too!
