I honestly can't say. I was just banded feb 7th. At my follow up appt he told me to come back in 3 weeks and we'd discuss a fill. He was happy with my weight loss thus far so he wasn't pushing a fill. Originally they told me 6 weeks after surgery.

  • 3 weeks later...

I think Dr. Thomas Lee is in the Mt. Laurel New Jersey area, but also sees patients in Philly too - From what I understand, he does Blind Stick, and has access to Fluoroscopy, when needed. I've heard solid things about him, but I think you have to make an appointment through the FCUSA Network (866-345-5872)

The best of luck to you

Need a new doctor in the Philadelphia area. Anyone know of any really good ones?

I was banded at Hahnemann Hospital; Dr Castellanos is awesome. Given your weight loss, he'll given you what he thinks is best (not to overfill), but he'll state to see him in a month...sooner if you feel that you're eating too much. For example, if I had a fill Jan 10th, I would make my next appt for Feb 10th, and if I felt that I was still eating more than 4 oz a sitting, I would reshedule for Jan 30th.

Because, I was lossing extremely fast up front, he was very conservative with my fiils, but now that my honeymoon is over, I'm a llittle more aggressive with seeing him for fills.
