I live in NW Al. I am looking for a Dr close to me that will do a fill. I was banded in Tijuana by Dr. Ortiz and have had 1 fill (1.8cc). All the local Drs. (with in 2 hours drive) are either such jerks :thumbup: because I didn't use them or they want to overcharge me to the point they should be embarrassed. :tt2:

Has anyone ever used Dr. Westmoreland in Murphressboro, Tn?

thanks for your input

Hello,

I live in Murfreesboro, I was banded by Dr. Eckles, Dr. Westmorelands partner. I have never been filled by Dr. Westmoreland, but I hear he is great. Now , Dr. Eckles is wonderful if you want to consider him. And on a side note, Dr. Eckles has the band himself, so he knows what it feels like to have a fill, restriction etc. I am very pleased with him.

thanks Laura, sorry about the spelling on your city. what can you tell me about your experience? how many fills have you had? when did you know you needed another one? how much were your fills? who did your fills? and did they use a fluroscopy? how did they know how much to fill you if they didn't. what did they charge you for your surgery and your fills?

I have had my fill for 2 weeks today and I haven't lost any more weight, I can till eat what ever and as much as ever if I liked, as long as I eat slow and chew things up really good.:thumbup:

thanks,

My overall experience with the Murfreesboro Surgical Clinic has been great. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I have had 4 fills and one unfill in the past year. I will be going back in a few weeks to get refilled. I can tell I need another fill when I get hungry less than 4 hours between meals and the amount I eat is over one cup. Dr. Eckles did my fills and I have not had any under fluro as of yet. He makes you drink Water as he fills you to see how much you need. My surgery and fills are covered by my insurance. I think my surgery was around $16k, had to have a hernia repaired also. I think fills are around $250 but could be wrong. I would just call their office and talk to them, ask for Angela, she is the best.

Thanks,

Laura
