Fill Doctors in Southern California?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know any fill doctors with reasonable fees in Southern California?

I am thinking of getting a little un-fill and don't want to drive to TJ.

I know of a great doctor in San Jose, Ca.

Dr. Robert Mckeen www.southbaybariatrics.com

He charged me $75.00 for a (his first) blind fill.

He did remove most of my first fill,(check for leaks) then gave me a fresh fill.

Good luck

anted somewhere around $150, call the day before the appointment so say that I'd need endoscopy first.

There was once more chance, but it was tough to get through his office, he wan't in town every day and by then I was exhausted anyway. I went to Mexico. This time I went to Mexico directly. It was fun and had I planned in advance, it would have been easy.

Thank you I'll keep that in mind.

I think it's been bothering me because today has been one of those days that things just don't go down. And the fact that I am stupid and as good as I look now (15 lbs. away from goal) I feel sorry for myself. Part of it may be because I am going on a cruise in 2 weeks and already feel deprived. I know I AM STUPID!!!

Thanks for listening,

Mary

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
