Experiences with Dr. Helmuth Billy?

Hey, all! So, I'm probably about halfway through the process now and have been looking at Dr. Billy in Thousand Oaks/Ventura County. I've heard nothing but good things so far, but just wanted to get as many opinions as I can!

I know he's well known for taking care of complications caused by other doctors, which is very cool. Just wanted to know about how things went when Dr. Billy was the guy who did your band in the first place!

Thanks, all!

I got banded in Mexico at the end of last year and see Dr. Billy for my fills. He and his nurses are really a wonderful group of people. Everyone at his office, including the patients and the staff, are always cheerful and encouraging. I couldn't recommend him more. Good luck.

I am having my band done by Dr Billy on Tues May 13th and my experiences with him and his staff have been nothing but positive. You should go to his seminar if you haven't already he is very honest about everything including operating room problems he has had in the past!

does anyone know what he charges for fills? I was banded in Glendale, but my fills cost 450.00 a little pricey so looking for another option.
Thanks, Kat

I was banded by him, and I adore him. He's really intelligent, knowledgeable, and caring. I wouldn't have been banded by anyone else.

Kat, my fills were included in the price of the surgery for life, but I heard fills could be anywhere up to $250.
