Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hi, I live in and the only fill place I know is the one connect3ed w/the surgery center and I "think" they charge about 300$ and don't use the fluroscope. Now...this is just what I recall from when I went there for an info seminar knowing all along that IF I did it would be done w/Dr. Aceves...which I did in April last. BH City...that is just a skip and hop to Mexicali isn't it? It takes me about 4to 41/2 hrs and I've been there several times, 3 fills plus surgery + hubby had dentistry done there also. We havae certainly made the trip there and back in one day...a long ass day to be sure, but not out of the question. j Re: Anyone from Las Vegas Hi Marc, I will be Las Vegas March 19-21 for a conferece in the Riveria Casino, I have been banded since July 3, 2006 and have lost 142 pounds and could meet you for coffee and chat with you for a while if you are interested.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hey JoAnne I made the trip from Elko NV in one day! It took 12 hours and I was in PAIN! I also never heard the end of it from my husband because I didn't get an unfill in Nebraska when I had the chance before we went to Elko to be with our daughter when she had gall bladder surgery! But he was a good sport and drove me down there! I can't say enough about Nina, Dr. C, Yolanda and the X-ray tech at Almater. They waited at the hospital for me until 8 PM so I could get relief! What great people! That was a year ago and now I'm having a few issues again but I hope they will resolve very soon. BTW we did not drive home the same day. We stayed in Calexico that night and then went to Laughlin for a few days before going back to Elko. It really isn't very far from BH City to Mexicali. It just seems that way--hehehe. I too am a " seasoned " bandster. I had my surgery 2 years and 5 months ago at the age of 66. I have not felt so good in many many years and only wish I had know about the lapband a long time ago. But I am truely enjoying life now! Best wishes, Penny from Colorado (retired from teaching in West Wendover NV 3 1/2 years ago) 9/26/05 230/156/145 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Grrrreat! Much easier for me coming from LV to Mexicali. Thinking...but stillthinking stage of an unfill, but the last couple of days have been so much better, and I was getting really REALLY hungry back in Dec when I had the fill #3, since then have lost 12# and though not thin by any means am happy w/the 158-160 range as it equates to an 8 petite...well not unless it is an elastic waist! if you make the trip again give me a holler, I work most afternoons from noon till 4 but could usually break away from the office for a quick cuppa. Thanks for the response. jmb Re: Anyone from Las Vegas Hey JoAnneI made the trip from Elko NV in one day! It took 12 hours and I was in PAIN!
