Both places in Ouachita parish have been out of commission for band fills for almost 3 months now. I was banded in Dallas by Dr. Cribbins in November 2008. Had lost 90 lbs, have now gained 20 back because I can't find anywhere to get a fill. I am willing to travel if necessary. I have called several places outside of Ouachita parish but have not had any luck either they 1. won't return my phone call or 2. only do fills for a certain doctor. Anyone have any advice, suggestions, phone number for a fill Dr.?

Have you found someone yet?

Try my surgeon Dr. Norwood's office. It is a center of excellence and located in Shreveport. Here is his website:http://www.norwoodbariatric.com/index.html

They are all about the aftercare and like to follow their patients closely.

Is Monroe La. near you? If so google Fill Center USA, click on location, and type in your zip code.

Usually all these places do are fills. So if you need a Dr. ,,, you will have to find one.

I would call the hospital up, and get a copy of your records, and surgical notes. That way if you look for a new Dr.,,, they will see what they are dealing with. MAKE COPIES! Once you turn them over to someone, there's no getting them back.

Hope it Helps, Shirley.

you should try Dr. Stephanie. She has two locations. The one closest to you would might be Tyler, Texas. SHe is wonderful. Her website is wellspringprocedures.com. Her phone number is 903-520-8847.

Thanks everyone for your help. I was able to get in touch with the Fill Centers location in El Dorado and finally got my much needed fill. The location in El Dorado was wonderful. Everyone was very nice and very professional. Hopefully by the time I need another fill, the locations here in Monroe/West Monroe will be back up and running, but if not I would gladly drive the hour to El Dorado to do business with them again. Again thanks everyone for your help.

What did you have to pay in El Dorado for the fill?
