Hi all,

I was just banded one week ago in Mexico and I am looking for a Doctor in the Nashville, TN area for follow-up and fills down the road.

Can anyone help??

Thanks,

Rick

Rick,

Several of us that were banded in Mexico get fills from Dr. Hugh Huston in Nashville. Let me know if you want more info.

Rick,

Congratulations on your recent banding! I must say that you selected an awesome surgeon! Dr. Rodriguez is wonderful isn't he?! :)

Dr. Houston (pronounced: How-Ston) is part of the Centennial Center for the Treatment of Obesity group. Their website is: http://www.cmcwls.com/index.php Dr. Houston: http://www.cmcwls.com/houston.php

You can call and speak to Holly, who will set up an appointment for your fill, or I believe he has another (new) assistant that is also helping with making fill appointments. Dr. Houston is a very caring surgeon. He will be a little strict about your aftercare. He will want you to watch what you eat ect.... I found that refreshing knowing that he wasn't my surgeon but that he still cared very much about my health and weight loss. I think you'll really like him.

Good luck to you! Feel free to email me if you have any more questions about a fill or your band. I've been banded over a year now and have lost 95 pounds. Getting the band is one of the best things I've ever done in my life.

Tricia,

Thanks so much for all your good information! I am going to call Dr. Houson's office Monday to set up an appointment and I will tell them you referred me. I know it is not fill time yet but I want to go ahead and get under his care.

BTW - I misspoke - I was banded by Dr Jose Rodriguez in Acuna, Mexico. I jumped the gun when I saw Dr. Rodriguez in your signature thinking it was the same Dr. Rodriguez.

Thanks again!

Rick,

I'm sure that Dr. Rodriguez in Acuna is just as wonderful as Dr. Rodriguez in Monterrey! ;)

Again, don't hesitate to email if you have any questions. I had a ton after I was banded. Good luck to you!

Hey Tricia,

Yes, my Dr. Rodriguez is a great man and surgeon. I have learned alot this week reading through the post on this forum but I am sure I will have more questions so thank you for offering to assist and guide me throught this journey. I did e-mail you originally from this site - did you get it?

Thanks,

Rick
