HELP ! ! ! Fill doctor needed in MI



Recommended Posts

I was banded in Mexico and was planning to get my fill locally at Barix Clinic in Ypsilanti by Dr. Kam. I called this morning to make an appointment for my first fill and was informed Dr. Kam is leaving Nov.1 and he is taking no new patients since he is booked solid. So I got on the phone and started making phone calls. Must have called at least 8 different places and no one will do a fill for me. Is there anyone out there who knows where I can get a fill without having to go back to Tijuanna????????????????

Hana,

I live in PA as well. What part of PA do you live? I live in York. Anyway, I am looking for a fill dr. for after I get banded in March. How much do Fill Center's USA cost? What was your experience with them?

I live in PA, about 30min south of Harrisburg. Yes I am going outside the US. I chose Dr. Rod in Acuna. Who was your Doc? What was your experience like?

By the way, someone gave me the name of a Doc in Frederick, MD. I don't know how far that is away from you and I haven't met her yet or anything but if you wanna check her out I'll give you her info. I think she was banded as well. Her name is Susan Brinkley. The phone # is 303-668-2800. I think her fills are $200. Again this is all second hand. I have to check it out myself to set up my fills for after surgery. I'm hoping she can do them because this would be the closest option for me.

Please write back and tell me how your experience went...I like get all the perspectives I can.

Oh and Hanna, if you give me your e-mail I can forward you the list of fill Docs that Dr. Rod's office sent me. Maybe one of them would work for you?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
