need follow up dr.

Have you checked into Dakota Dunes? Apparently there is a doctor there that does the lap band so maybe that person will also do fills. Another place to check out is Mitchell SD. I didn't realize that they preform the lap band surgery there but I guess they do. I had my surgery done by Dr O'Brien 5 days ago.

Well, thanks Foolsrushin for the info! The staff at Dr. Fred Harris' office was very informed, helpful, and pleasant! And yes, that's a change from many of the offices I've called!! Also, yup, they do take medicare, they take Mexico bandsters, they're pretty inexpensive, and they do fills on Fridays! The nurse, Shiela, that I spoke with was also very knowledgeable and said to call them with questions/concerns any time! So, thanks for the "referral," if you will. :puke:
