I live in Anchorage, AK and the doctor who did my surgery has always had a hard time accessing my port so he always sent me to an imagining center to do my fills under fluro. But the only two doctors that did the band fills no longer work there and have gone to another imaging center that does not take my insurance (Tricare-West). That being said we are military and are moving to Colorado springs, I am going there on Sunday to look for a house and try to find a fill center where I can have a fill. My doc stuck me 14 times yesterday because I decided to give him another go at it because I didn't want to pay the 250 for the fill somewhere else..I have gained 20lbs since my last fill/unfill..such a long story, I have had many issues with the band. I am willing to find a center during my trip to colorado and pay if need be. Hopefully it will not be that much more than what they charge here in Anchorage.

Can anyone please help...I am also in desperate need of support...I was banded a year ago and have not been having very good success. My doctor said there is a very fine line with my fills, I either am too restricted to the point where I couldn't even swallow spit but they take such a small amount out and I have no restriction....I don't get it, it's very frustrating...I don't know, I am really bummed out about all this...I lost 45lbs then gained back 20 in 2mths....

Hey there!!

I live in Florissant. ( 45 minutes west of Colorado Springs.) I am not sure about Colorado Springs, but have an AWESOME doctor up in Denver. Dr. Kirshenbaum: 303-695-1304. He or his P.A have been terrific. He had the lowest cost and his fills are incrediblly low. ( at least for patients, unsure of how much for not, but shouldn't be bad.) I had surgery Jan. 9th 09 and as of today I've lost 71 pounds. Dieing to tel someone that I just hit it this a.m. Feel free to contact me with any questions at all. Hope your trip goes well- Good luck! God Bless!

i don't really know anything about fill doctors in colorado springs, but i go to dr. smith in pueblo. it is less than an hours drive (30-45 minutes depending on traffic). he is simply awesome. you could give him a call and see if he will work with you.

Do they do fills for people who had their bands done in Mexico???

hello! now live in Florissant and that dr is not takin "traveling patients" any other suggestions?

I have had my fills done by Dr. Doru Georgescu in Thornton. I was going thru "Fills USA" but did not like there dr. this guy and his staff is great. the first fill is $265 I think, and then $75 a fill after that. There phone number is 303-452-0059. Good luck. Sue Holland

Thank you so much, exactly what I needed to know!!! thanks again!
