I was banded out of state and am looking for a local doc to take over my fills. Not much luck after searching on here, so I am contacting doctors and plan to post the results here to assist others (this list is partially in the Georgia forum as well).

Please understand this is simply what I was told by the doctor and/or office staff via email or over the phone; the costs, requirements, circumstances, et cetera, may change at any time. I have cited the person who gave me the information.

I could not edit my original post for some reason. Just wanted to bump this up for those looking and note that I chose Dr. William Johnson if anybody was curious. I had a good experience with him and have another fill scheduled in a few weeks.

Bumping since I have gotten some questions about fill docs from fellow Georgians. I would love it if others could add to this list.

We have a provider located in Moultrie and Roswell, GA. She does require fluoroscopy with all adjustments, but has a patient satisfaction feedback rating of 96.23%. If you would like information on scheduling or pricing, please contact our Patient Relations Department at 866-345-5872 ext. 14. Good luck with your search.

The Fill Centers USA Team

I already have a fill doctor as I mentioned above, thank you. I created this thread for people to post about their experiences in contacting and visiting doctors who will perform fills in Georgia.

Is the Georgia Fill Centers USA provider a doctor?

I just called Dr. William Johnson at Johns Creek and they said they WILL NOT take on any patients who was banded in Mexico. I am so disappointed. Anyone know of another doctor around Atlanta who will take on people banded in MEXICO. I WOULD REALLY PREFER A DOCTOR AT THIS POINT.

I am so sorry; I wish I could edit my original post to include that info (it won't let me) but at least yours here will let people know. I would suggest that you go to lapband.com, get a list of local surgeons and just keep calling. Maybe your surgeon in Mexico has recommendations? I am fairly sure (but not 100%) that Dr. Ponce in Dalton will take on patients banded in Mexico; I had heard of him working with patients of Dr. Ariel Ortiz. I wish you the best of luck. If you do find someone, please post his or her info here for others in your situation!

Dr. Celio Burroughs in Atlanta, Ga at the Atlanta Medical Center. He did my surgery and in his office, he specifically says, "Takes in other patients"

Dr. Michael Williams in Northside Regional Hospital up past Dunwoody did my g/f's surgery and may.

Dr. Tidus Duncan (big lapband doc down below perimeter). Give him a try. He works with Dr. Burroughs and try asking him.

I haven't actually asked any of these doctors. I'm just giving somebody some options. I know how much driving to a doctor can suck.

Thanks Jerro for the information. Since your g/f goes to dr Williams can you give me some feed back as to how she likes his office/him. Wondering if he uses fluro to do his fills and what their pre and post fill instructions are.

Thanks for any info you could share.
