I have read a few threads about this...but here goes again! Need to finda fill dr in South Carolina. The closest one I found was in Columbia (which is 2 hr drive.)

Just in case, are there any closer? I live in Berkeley County which is near to Charleston, SC.

Just moved from Miami, FL where Dr. Gomez (and Dr. Moises Jacobs) did my surgery and fills.

Taterbugs,

We were going to move to CHarleston because my hubby was in the Airforce and I didnt have anyluck finding anyone closer than Columbia. Try Obesityhelp.com, I tried that site but it has been several months since I looked at it. They may have a new doctor listing on there that I havent seen. Best of luck to you. I am in Fort Rucker, AL and my closest doctor is Pensacola, FL. It is a 2.5 hr drive but well worth it. He is amazing. Good Luck!

I just found out that Carolina Bariatric Medical Clinic in Lexington are doing fills now. 803-796-3820 for ALL LAP BAND Patient.

I went to Carolina Bariatric in Lexington this past Monday. They weren't able to access my port but still charged me. Also I was stuck seven times and he doesn't use a numbing agent. He finally gave up. Just an FYI to anyone else who might consider going there. $300 is a lot of money for nothing especially since I have little abdominal weight and the other two people that have given me fills got it on the first try.

I was banded by Dr. Strickland in Lexington and he was great, all of the doctors there are great. I can't believe they didn't use a numbing agent, that seems strange. That's the very first thing they did to me!

The doctor was not Dr Strickland. This doctor that I saw has never even done a lapband surgery but was a bariatric surgeon before he retired. Now he does follow-up care.
