Hi, I live in west Phoenix. I was banded in Mexico - Dr. Corvala. Wendy Hall also does my fills. Everything has been good so far!

Thanks | She is great! She does mine at a Chiropractors office in Mesa. She goes all over the state. It is $155 a fill I think.

Are you not happy with Dr. Nirmul doing your fills? I thought all fills were included in the package of surgery..just curious why you are looking for fills elsewhere, I have my consult w/ him on the 13th..should I reconsider?

Thank you for the number!
I am happy with Dr Nirmul, he is very conservative with the fills though. I have two fills total of 2.5cc in a 14cc band. I feel very little constriction at this time. I am just inpatient a little! I also wanted to set up fills once the year is up. He is a great MD and wants his patients to be safe. I on the other hand am an impatient Nurse.

Bethy, that is very conservative for a larger band. My husband has a 10 cc band and has had three fills since his surgery 10/10/07 for a total of 7 cc, and he is close to his "sweet spot" with that, but none too tight. Conservative is good when dealing with your health, but there is a point where it gets discouraging to not lose weight.
Some of Dr Aceves' patients in Mexicali drive down occasionally for fills. He is very highly recommended by his patients (I am not one of them, so I don't have any interest in pushing his services for any reason). PM WasaBubbleButt (she's a nurse too) if you are interested.

I was banded by Dr. Aceves in April 2007 and so far I've lost 55 pounds. I started having problems about 3 weeks ago and I'm beginning to get scared. I'm having terrible heartburn and acid reflux. I've haven't had it since the surgery until now. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, how long did it last before it went away. It's been three weeks and I know it's not just the "stomach virus" I first thought it was. Starting to worry....
