Looking for a fill doctor in the Seattle Area



Recommended Posts

I had surgery in Mexico and now I'm looking for a fill doctor in Washington State. Tacoma Radiology used to be the one and only place to get one but they no longer do the fills. Does anyone have any suggestions?:)

Dr Joseph Cheblis in Ballard will fill you, and is excellent. Dr Kelly Firzpatrick in portland and eugene is also excellent.

And I certainly don't think NWWLS knows everything! There are 3 people in my support group who refuse to go back there becuase their chief nurse is so strict and makes them feel like $%^& if they have not lost up to HER expectations. They call her the "battleAxe". (No offense meant, tereasa -)

:bananapowerslide: Oh, I don't take offense. But Smart Bandsters is not the same as NWWLS. We have members from all over the US, Canada, Europe, Australia & New Zealand, the Middle East and China. Many are banded in Mexico. All are welcome - :welcomeB:

And while Jessie, a diabetic and lapband educator, successful bandster and fill tech since 1997, author of a lap band handbook recommended by many doctors, is a source of sound wisdom born of her knowledge of the experiences of thousands of bandsters, she is not the owner and, believe me, more than a little :fencing: goes on on the list! :paranoid

But we are all striving for the same thing --- helping one another achieve goal and maintain goal. :D:):D

We have had a recent spin-off for those more than a year out who have failed to ever reach goal, even those who stalled just a short ways out after surgery. It has taken off very strong for list less than a week old.

We talk about food CHOICES, not "mistakes". Some choices are good :clap2: and some, not so good. :think

But we never rag on one another for gaining :hungry: , but help one another work out what's going on and lend encouragement to one another to try, try again. :cheer2:

Jessie is harder on herself than she is on any patient... And she is mellowing, too. And for everyone who let's their guilt get triggered, there are are the ones who love her for her unpaid devotion to our list. We are her apostles. :P

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
