Illinois Lap Band Fill Docs??



Recommended Posts

Anyone in IL know of doctors to do Fills for Mexico patients? I am posting this here bc the topics on the other forums for this never get looked at.

I am about 2 hours Southwest of Chicago on the Iowa border. I am getting ready to schedule another flight down to my surgeon to get another fill, but wanted to make another last ditch effort to try and find a doc closer to here that USES FLUORO and will treat me. I will not go to a doc that doesn't use Fluoro, I have learned my lesson the hard way due to that!

I got a Doc name from another patient of my Doc's that was using this Dr for her fills - but when they found out I was banded out of the country they wouldn't touch me with a 10 foot pole! I thought about telling them where I got their name from and that they indeed WERE already treating a Mexico patient but I didn't bother. Ignorance is bliss I guess. nonod.gif

Hi Blondee, happy to see you had your wls the same day I had mine. Although my surgery was performed in the states, I was still looking for a different doctor to do my fills. I don't know if you have tried Synchrony Chicago Weight Loss in Oakbrook, IL. You can try them, I think they'll want specific information about your surgery. Good luck, I hope you don't have travel back to Mexico for a fill.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
