I figure I am spending about $330 to go back down to TJ for a fill with Dr. Kuri. But does anyone know of a doc here in Northern CA that will do it cheaper under flouro? I checked with Dr. McKeen"s office in San Jose and he is $475 for first one and $375 thereafter for pts who got their band elsewhere. Anyone know of anyone cheaper?

Dr Barrow in Red Bluff. Love him. Does fluoro. Not sure of pricing but know it is cheaper than what you are paying. Call Fill Centers 866 345 5872 and they will schedule you. Then you can fgo to any of their doctors.

Just wondering if you have had any luck with that company my wife is looking to get her first fill but it seems like that company is giving her the run around. They keep telling her they dont have a time for her to get a fill or there is no one there that can setup a time. Hell I am half tempted to say screw it and try and get her back down to Mexico for the fill. If you have any tips on how to move it along for us i would appreciate it.

Thank you

Kyle

There is a place called Fill Centers USA in Navato. I am thinking about going to them. I had my surgery in Phoenix and need a fill now. The cost is $395 to join and $185 a fill after. I think if they can feel the port it is that amount but if you need a ultra sound it is extra. Hope this helps. I am still looking.

There is a Doc in Red Bluff that does fills under fluoro. He is a fill centers provider and they charge 349 for the first fill and then it is 165 per fill and you can go to any doc in their network. Havent gone to him myself but according to patients that have gone he is one they like. Good luck

Wow! That's pricey. My fills cost me $40.00 with my insurance.

Does anybody have a first name for Dr. Barrows in Red Bluff Ca.

Dr Helmuth Billy in Ventura travels to his Truckee Office every 2 months. He charges $150 a fill. He does see patients banded south of the border. He's very nice and very knowledgable about lap bands.

I just went in to see Dr Gail Altschuler in Novato for an unfill. Nice doctor. I am back on program now that my band is not overtight. I had my band done in Mexico in 2003 and I really think I need this more local support (just an hour drive instead of a day-long trip to TJ for a fill). I really liked her. She did a great job getting some of the saline out of this old band...

I'm Dr. Gail Altschuler. We do lap band fills for people who've had there bands placed elsewhere. The cost is $349 for the first fill and $165 after that. I'm a weight loss specialist so I can help support the whole process of weight loss in addition to adjusting the band. I've got hundreds of band patients. I don't use fluoro, but rarely find it necessary. Give us a call at 415-897-9800. www.marinweightloss.com Looking forward to meeting you.
