Does anyone know of any Fill/Follow up doctors in North or South Carolina.

I was banded by Dr. Sanchez a few years ago in Mexico. I was seeing Dr. Allen in Kentucky when I lived in Indiana. Since then I have moved.

Most doctors do not want to do follow up on anyone other than the patients they have done surgery on.

Thanks for your help.

:help:Thank you regarding the Fill Center USA. I went to their website and it didn't have a location near me.

I am concerned about what I have been reading about the centers. I want to be sure to go to a quality doctor since I think I am having acid reflux as a result of the band.

Are there any other follow up doctors....even in adjoining states

Regards

Hi Bonjeanie -- what city/state are you in? if you prefer you can PM the info -- I might be able to help.

Okay here is doctors in your local ara that will do your fills as long as you can get them a copy of your records - Dr. Keith Gersin, Dr. Timothy Kuwada they are part of the CMC Mercy Bariatrics Center in Charlotte, NC 28204 704-355-9484

If this doesn't work for some reason -- let me know.

Good Luck!

Smatyas,

I called fillcentersusa today and they said that the Denver, NC wouldn't start scheduling until mid-July. Maybe I misunderstood. They said they would contact me once they started scheduling.

Thank you for all the info...it will definitely help.

I mainly need to find someone for follow up since I am having some pain and acid reflux associated with my band.

Do the fill doctors also check to see if the band is ok? I don't want another fill...I just want to be sure that my band is ok.

I thought I could find a resource from my band doctor but I can't call Dr. Sanchez in Monterrey, Mexico because I found out a few months back that he had been murdered (terrible thing to have happened...he seemed so nice!!).

Thanks again:)

Hi Bonnie -- the doctor's office will be able to take over care for all your band needs. I would give them a call.

Smatyas,

I did leave my information, but I haven't received a call as of yet.

I live outside of Charlotte I found Dr Gonzales in Winston Salem, I saw him on Thurday. He was great. The fill cost me 525.00 But a lot cheaper than spending 2 days traveling to Mexico. He does it at the hospital, I was in and out in about 30 minutes.

Hi Lauriann -- this is great to know, thanks for the update.

Did they do it under flouro (sp? - live xray?)

I travel every other week -- so I try to have at my finger tips WHO to see if I need to when I am in that area having issues.

Thanks again!
