Drove 2.5 Hours and FillUSA called to cancel

Wow....what a day....I live in Dalton, Georgia and FillCentersUSA booked me to drive to Duluth for a fill today at 3 pm. We left around 12:30 and ran into traffic, so it was around 2:10 when I received a call. The young lady said they were at the Doctor's office and he had not set up the fluro machine so they would have to cancel. Of course, I was 6 miles away and even though it was a very unprofessional situation, I decided God was delaying my fill. I am still loosing a couple of pounds weekly, so I think I will wait a while longer. I might even decide to pay the local lap band surgeon 2500 up front, that includes 4 fills and just stay local. I was banded in Mexico by Dr. Kuri. Local doctors charge a high fee to assume the responsibility of a Mexico patient. I love my lap band. I have lost around 21 pounds and it is starting to show.

I just wanted to chime in and say that I had my second fill with Darlene Zebley of Fill Centers USA on Saturday, and she is awesome. Her son and daughter assist (daughter is the receptionist and son works the fluoroscope) and they really take the time to put you at ease and let you know that they care. Darlene does a great job with the stick and fill, and even though I came away with not enough on my first fill, I'm doing pretty good with the second (though I'm pretty sure I need another). She really looks for a balance, so you don't go away overfilled.

I can't tell you how thrilled I am to know I have someone competent and close-by to take care of my fills for me. So, so thrilled.

(Also, her son is really hot, probably late 20's or early 30's, any ladies on the market for cute one?)

I also had my second fill in Roswell with darlene this past Saturday (Nov 17th). It was a good experience, and will save a lot of money and time as compared to trips back to Mexico. I am thankful to have the option within driving distance from home. She and the office staff were all very nice, and the procedure went just fine.

Oh, I made a point of letting her son know I wasn't there because he is "hot" as previously posted. :)

(They were aware of the post.)

I live in Gainesville and my doctor charges 250.00 so I am thinking of going to the Roswell Fill Center. Are you all still happy with them?

Vex, I see you were there the same day I was. That was my third fill. All my experiences have been great. I just wish they are closer. It's worth the drive though to put me at ease.

I didn't even realize they were all related until my last visit. I don't know how I missed that they all look alike. Her son is a cutie and they are all so sweet. I feel so comfortable as long as they keep doing fills in Roswell, I will keep coming.

Hi,

I have also gone through fillcenterusa for my fills (I am 2 years out). I have not had a fill in Duluth (I live in Griffin, Ga-by the way my sister lives in Dalton). If you get to Duluth and use the fluro machine, will you email me and let me know how it goes?

Thanks,

Bette
