I am really wondering this too, I'm getting my lapband done soon:(

I got some fills from Dr. Schmidt in Bismarck but his PA's weren't too aggressive in fills and did not use fluoro, we go to Texas in the winter so have been going to Dr. Stephanie in Bryan Tx on my way, she does a really good fill.

where did you get your surgery done? where do you live?

well I live in Fargo and I'm getting the surgery done hopefully by July in Bismarck at Medcenter One. I was just hoping to find a fill doctor somewhere close so I don't have to drive 3 hours! lol Stupid Gas!

I'm from Grand Forks and get my fills from Shelley Wright at the Altru Bariatric Center.

What is the difference of Fluoro and Saline?

no clue, but now that I know there is a fill doc in Grand Forks...i think I might talk to my doctor about that. Anyway I have to go take my psych evaluation in 20 min. Yay!

Blackcherry, feel free to PM me and I'll give you any info you want that I have. I haven't figured out that feature here yet!:cursing:

Greetings!

I just moved to Jamestown, ND and am looking for any information on places/doctors that perform lap band fills (preferably flouroscopy) in the region. I was banded in Mexico in February, had my first fill (which hasn't affected anything) in April in Milwaukee, and now having finally settled into a new home and new job, am wanting to get the second fill done. Any information would be welcome! I don't mind driving to get where I need to either.

How much do your fills cost? I am about to schedule surgery in Mexico, Meritscare won't do the fills unless you're their patient, my insurance won't cover the surgery so it's all cash for me And with fluoro, you swallow barium (sometimes) and they view the fill via xray

Dr Brad Thaemert does mine at the Surgical Institute of SD in Sioux Falls.

I do mine in Fargo at Meritcare with Dr. Fabian, I'm not sure what there referral policy is, but he did my surgery and I would highly recommend.
