Need a good fill DR in Houston TX area

Dr Garwood got me started on the Lap Band process and has followed me the whole time. He is compassionate and takes time to answer all your questions. I couldn't ask for better.

I use Dr. Stephanie and she is awsome! No pain at all and she uses flouro every time. DON'T go to FILL CENTERS in Houston! I had a horrible experience. The doctor poked me with a needle for over one hour and could never find my port. I was in tears when I left the office. They charged my credit card for the fill even though I never got one! I am glad to hear about the other doctor in College Station as a back up.

Just please be careful. I thought I would go the cheap route and had that horrible experience at fills centers. The doctor dug into my stomach with a needle for over an hour. It was one of the most painful things I have ever delt with. Then I was devasted to not be able to get my first fill. Luckily from Lap Band Talk, I found out about Dr. Stephanie. The price is 200 dollars, but she uses flouro. I now have my sweet spot after my fourth fill being that she can see how much to put in. I would drive to her any day. I would rather pay a little more to have a great doctor do my fill the right way.

I'm thinking of going to Mexico for my lap band and it's good to know that I have some choices when it comes to getting a fill! I was concerned that I would have trouble finding some place to go!

Thanks for the information!
