drlukemayes Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Posted June 26, 2008 Juarez is great.

Thanks, I might just call them and see if they will do my fills there since I go in that dirrection every so often. And My step daughters live in Juarez.
bandgroupie Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 Hiya Luke Welcome to the forum and congrats on your weight loss!!!! Do me a favor with regard to your practice of aftercare fill adjustments .... be kind to your patient's wallets That's my only gripe so far is that the U.S. docs charge so much for the fills if you are banded out of country. Promise?
my_friend_amber Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 Welcome welcome!! A few great (missionary) friends of mine are from Boise and they love it there! Big congrats on your super weight loss and welcome to the forum!
Paula Bee Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 Welcome to our forum and congratulations on your weight loss. I think your fill patients are lucky to have a doctor that understands their perspective. :lb9:
julieburns Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 Hi Dr. Luke: Welcome to our group. Wow you had a double whammy sort of on both ends for your surgery...what a nice man. I am an RN and was banded only 3+ weeks ago. I hope to be able to have this journey also help me in my care of patients in some way. What a great inspiration.
