:help: Hello everyone, my name is Lorie. I had my surgery April 4th. Everything went great and have been losing weight ever since. I only have one problem. None of the surgeons I have spoken with are willing to do my fills. Can anyone help me to locate a Dr. in my area. I live in Greenfield, TN. That is in the northwest part of the state. If anyone out there has any helpful info please contact me by email or by phone. 731-235-2348. I hope to here from you soon. Sincerely, Lorie.

I had my band place by Dr Ponce in Chattanooga. He is wonderful....but don't know how far it is. www.lapbandinstitute.com is his website.

God Bless,

Melody

Hi everyone, This is a re-post from a few weeks ago.. I know how inportant it is to keep the postings fresh but i want to help anyone in need as well.

I just want to share with the group that we have finally found a

very dependable fill clinic that is close to anyone living in the South

East. Me and my wife Kelli drove up from Atlanta last Friday which

was only about a 3 hour drive and even though we could have made the

round trip in a day we decided to stay on over night and get out an

experience Nashville. This was Kelli's first fill since her surgery

back on December 27th. She has lost about 30 lbs now and she was

very excited about getting her first adjustment. They did the procedure

under Flourascopy "which required us to have to follow our nurse

over to a imaging center which was about 20 minutes further from the

clinic" but I am glad we did it this way so we could confirm 100%

where Kelli's access port is. They ended up only putting in .8 cc's

which I know does not sound like it was enough but at the time it

was all she could handle, any more and she just shut closed completely.

The whole procedure only took about 2 hours from the moment we

arrived.

This clinic is part of the group listed on the Fill Center USA

website and their prices are very reasonable at only $300.00 for your first

fill and $150.00 for each additional. The Flouroscopy was extra and

optional, but if you have insurance they will bill your insurance

company directly. We were told that they are very successfull with

getting the insurance to pay for the service, she mentioned that it

had something to do with how they coded it to get payed. Anyway I

feel very comfortable in recomending them for anyone local in Georgia,

Alabama, South Carolina, or the sourounding area. Debra Kleven was

super nice and made us feel very welcome. She even gave us her cell

phone number and told my wife if she experienced too much

restriction she would meet us back at the clinic on Saturday to make an

adjustment before we left to go back home. Here is the information on the clinic and the location address:
