  1. Suggestions for Fresno California doctor for fills?

    Might be a distance for you but there is one in Novato that will accept patients that have gone foreign for surgery. Dr Altschuler is very good at fills. She is with a Company that has a network of Docs that do fills all over the nation and you call them to schedule. Fill Centers USA 866 345 5872. I dont know their hours but you can go to their website to get times and any other docs that might be closer to you. Hope you find someone.


  2. ok. i got my band in feb 2004. my doc was almost 2 hrs out of town and we had a small child and life got busy and i didn't go to follow ups appropriately. long story short, i need to find a dr and have my band reevaluatediwe have had 3 more chldren since then w/no complications and no need for un-fills. all our children were term and at a healty weight. i too didn't gain a significant amt of weight 8-14 lbs each pregnancy. long story short, i still have some restriction but i have learned to 'eat around' my band, and i don't follow all the rules. i recently joined ww. i can eat everything i'm supposed to - but b /c of my band - sometimes it takes me FOREVER to eat anything. of course junk (crackers, chips) goes down much easier than say chicken breast or turkey burgers..... i want to re-learn how to use my tool. any advice or feedback is greatly appreciated. btw, our youngest child is now 9 months....all girls!!

    The children were worth it but time to get back on track.. I think you need to find a fill Doc close to you that you can talk to. Also there is a book called "The Lifestyle Guide for the banded". You can get it through Fill Centers USA. It has turned a lot of peoples lives around. I read it and it will completely educate you on the band and eating with the band. The best thing is it will motivate you. Some of the stuff--no milk, etc I dont agree with, but generally speaking it is right on. It is the only book out there to help just the banded. Dont quit, talk to Fill Cneters about a Doc near you. If they dont have one near you start calling around until you find one you trust and get started. The very best of luck to you.


  3. Im moving to Macon, soon and need advice on a good doctor for my fills, etc.

    Thank you!

    There is a great one in Moultrie (I think about 30 minutes south of Macon). She has done fills for a long time and very good. I believe she does them with or wihout fluoro. You have to cal a Company called Fill Centers USA to schedule. I tell a lot of people about them because they have Doctors all over that does fills. Look them up on line and they have a 800 number and are really nice. Good luck with your move. I know people that live in Georgia that love it.


  4. Doctor in Gadsden Alabama (100 milies from Atlanta). Does fluoro and everyone i know that has gone seems to like him. Some friends I know drove from Tenn just to go to him. Check with Fill Centers for scheduling and prices. Good luck.

    HELP! My Lap Band fill provider office has been closed and I need to find another one. The provider I used to go to has an office 3 hours away but I have to believe that there is an office closer. PLEASE help me with information if you know of a provider in or around Atlanta - THANKS - Ammie
