I was filled two months ago in Italy by Dr Favretti and Segato, as a South African I had no choice as local options dont exist. To get my fill I am supposed to travel back to Italy, but the flight is long and the cost very high.

My company however is sending me to the USA next week for a week, I have one meeting in DC, one in Baltimore and one in New York City.

This has come up out of the blue, and I wasnt expecting to travel so this is very last minute.

Can anyone help with a name of a reasonably priced doctor (the South African currency really sucks - i had to save for a very long time to have the procedure) and someone who will see me on such short notice?

Thanks and btw I have lost 20kg in 2months since the op, but the weekly weight loss is slowing down now (I hope a fill would accelerate that again) :confused:

Hello BNJ,

I read your post and may have a solution for you. There is a new facility dedicated to patients that need an adjustment of their gastric bands. They are located about 30 minutes from NYC, in Florham Park NJ. The facility is known as The Banding Centers of America. You can contact them at 973 805 9977. Hope this is helpful.
