Can anyone help me? I had my surgery in early Dec and STILL can't find a Dr. to do fills. I live in upstate NY and I have an Inamed band. I am really frustrated...I need a fill. I didn't come this far to be stopped by this. I'm getting defeated. New York city is a long trip and I was hoping to sind someone in the upstate area. Please......someone...give me a lead!

Call Stephany Casey at Dr.Benavides office in Dallas , they may be able to find a Dr.or call the ASBS (american society of bariatric and metabolic surgeons.)

Hate that for you. I'm sure there are dozens if not hundreds of docs in the state of NY that do these fills along w/ Botox parties.

Look in your local paper for those 'free seminars' on weight loss surgeries. Then look in the yellow pages, ask your primary care, the closest medical hospital or college medical center.

Don't let people fool you into "oh, we don't take patients banded by other docs" We live in a mobile society!

Oh, I was going to get some leads for you but I don't know what 'upstate' NY is. Can you give a city name?

Not sure which part of upstate you are, but Dr. Singh ((518) 262-0942) is in Albany and there is a program at Ellis Hospital in Schenectady, too. Hope that helps.

Hi there....I live in upstate New York, in the Utica area. I go to Dr Fitzer for my fills. 315-624-4740. I've heard there's also Doc's in the Cooperstown and Syracuse areas, but sorry, dont have the names or numbers. Hope this helps....

That's great...I'll give it a shot. Thanks so much for the lead!

I appreciate the help...that would be perfect.

Graceutah... thanks for the follow up. I live about an hour from Albany, NY and about 2hrs from Utica.

Where do you live? Are you near Poughkeepsie NY?

Tristate Bariatrics in Middletown is absolutely wonderful. They have a website tristatebariatrics.com 845-692-8780 Good Luck!

I'm way upstate, but I have family near Kingston, so that's no big deal. I just do not want to go all the way into the city
