Fill Doctors



Recommended Posts

I was banded in Mexico and get my fills in Roswell, GA; My fill doctor also serves south Georgia via Moultrie, GA; You can reach her by contacting the following company. www.fillcentersusa.com - Dr. Darlene Zebley. Phone: 866-345-5872 Appointment Contact Name: Charlotte or Patty Distance; They are very good and available for phone contact anytime.

Hi 88KEYZ, everything I have read about Darlene Zebley states that she is an ARNP (Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner), not a doctor. While I have no doubt that she or other providers from FillCentersUSA can give excellent aftercare, I think it's important to be specific about this because some people prefer a doctor, especially one who has performed the surgery before.

Yes - let's be specific -

Darlene Zebley, ARNP, MSN, FNP-C

These are her certifications as she does all the fills, aftercare but does not do surgery or lap-band surgery specifically.

ARNP: Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner

MSN: Master's of Science in Nursing

FNP-C: Family Nurse Practitioner - Certified

Debbie,

I don't have any problem with a ARNP, MSN, FNP-C doing my fills, but since I was banded in MX, it is a MIDband (not USDA approved) and don't have the port tacked down I have to go to OH to see Dr. Curry and his staff. They are all GREAT!

I do wish I could find a doctor a bit closer that doesn't want you to take out a small personal loan for fills (Really, some of the prices are ridiculous.) I drive truck for a living so the distance doesn't bother me, but I was hoping for a more regular visit to have fills, nutritionist consults, floro if needed and an easier time of things...What was I thinking, wait I wasn't thinking.

I should also add that I've called any and everyone mentioned in GA for fills and aftercare to no avail. The risk factor seems to be the issue along with the above mentioned items. Are there no compassionate doctors in this area or that aren't out to charge an exorbitant amount for their services?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
