Has anyone used the Fill Centers USA?



Recommended Posts

I will be moving to Florida in the fall, and leaving my surgeon behind :frown:. I noticed that there is a Fill Center USA within 15 miles of our new home, and wondered if anyone had experience with them, good or bad.

Thanks!

I have never heard of band fill centers, are they cheaper than md office visits

I'm not sure about the cost...although I had heard that they will not file for insurance coverage. I'm looking into it because I am relocating away from my surgeon, and getting a fill doctor is not always easy.

I had my first fill at FillCenterUSA, Denver NC.

I only had a three questions and he answered them before I could ask and almost all in the same sentance.

It was $349 for the first visit and $165 for the next. I spoke at length w/ Charlotte, FillCenter, after speaking w/ a few more before her. She was great. The others didn't seem to have the experience as Charolotte.

I asked if there was a customer service record for the MD...sure enough. He had a 4.7 out of 5. I would rate him a 5.

Now this was my first visit...the fill was a breeze. I hear they can get tougher.

BTW, a local MD ageed to see me....$350 a pop and not w/ an xray either.

Also, the FillCenter MD said using a fluro wasn't necessary. Has anyone ever been told that.

I have used the fill center in NOrthern California through the fill center and was happy with them. I also dealt with Charolette and like her alot . Same as reported before 365 for the first fill and 165 after. No problems and I liked the fill doctor they sent me to............

I do not regret it but it has not been an easy road. I would do it again though. Good luck!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
