Hi!

I recently had surgery in April (in Mexico) and I'm trying to find a fill doctor in the Utica/Syracure area that will accept me even if they didn't band me. Any suggestions?

Thank You,

Are you from Nebraska? IF so check with Dr. Taddeucchi or Dr. Hung. They do fills at the Nebraska Surgery Center. 70th and J st in Lincoln.

If you're not from Nebraska...diregard this messge.

Sorry, I'm in New York. Thanks though!

Sorry I cant be of any help in your area but I am in the same situation of

looking for a doctor near the Atlanta GA area. I wish you Luck

I don't mean to be negative, non-supportive or any of that other stuff....but I have a question. Why did you not research this before surgery?

But, more importantly, what is your plan if you can't find someone?

My suggestion would be to call the local hospitals and medical associations to ask for referrals and start making those phone calls.

Best of luck to you both.

If all else fails and you can't find a Lap Band surgeon in the area that does fills, you can always come to Rochester, NY and get your fills here. I know it's a bit of a trip, but it's not too bad, and I know of at least 2 doctors that do fills here.

I was banded in Boston and will be getting 2 fills here (in Rochester) during the summer months before I go back to Boston to resume my studies in the fall, so it's definitely an option here.

Good luck!
