I am from atlanta, GA and would like to get my first fill, (i got banded 25th Sept) So its been 7 weeks and I have lost a total amount of 21-22lbs. But now i feel I can eat anything with no restriction and I have just been going to the gym to mantian my weight.

I went to fillcenterusa and there is a location in GA but that clinic just opened recently and the nurse/fill woman has only been doing it for 2-3 months, im not sure if i feel too comfortable with her being so new.

I have contacted Dr. Ponce in Dalton,GA but he requires $2000 upfront and similar to another doctor in TN, since that amount is too pricey for me I would like someone relatively cheaper 300-400.

Any suggestions will be helpful-thank you

she also has an office in Roswell Georgia.

I go to the office in Roswell and have not had to much trouble except when I was over filled having a choice of driving 5-6 hrs or waiting 2 weeks was not very convenient. I also feel the fees are very high and think its horrible to have to pay for a slight unfill with in a few weeks of paying for a fill.

Does Dr Williams use fluroscopy? and if so is there an additional fee?

Thanks and any info on Dr Williams would be appreciated.

Not everyone wants to go to FillCenter because, while it is awesome that they exist, especially for those banded in Mexico, they are quite costly. It is far cheaper for me to go back to Denver where I was banded then going to Moultrie, GA, which would be the closest for me. You also have to consider the cost of gasoline these days. I would loe to see the cost come way down, the patient load would go way up so it would remain very profitable. Just my two cents

Hi Randie, are you sure Dr.Williams does fills for people banded in Mexico.It would be awesome if he does. It would give me another option besides fill center usa.

they also have an office in Roswell GA. It is so much closer than Moultrie.
