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.

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
