Hello everyone, My name is Dawn. I've been looking for a Dr. in Sacramento who will do a fill for me. I had my lap band surgery in Monterey, Mexico. Please help!! I had my surgery in Dec and I live in Reno. No one returns my calls, emails, or post. Thank-you, Dawn

Zsflower, Hi I'm Dawn, I read your post while searching for a fill Dr. I live in Reno Nv, I had my fill in Mexico and have been searching for months to find someone to do the fill. Fill center USA charges so much and with gas on top of that I can't afford to drive all the way to LA. I could drive to Sacramento, Can you PLEASE help me find a good fill center??? I'm so discouraged. I call and e-mail and no one gets back to me. Thank-you so mucu

Tricia, Wow! You look great!!! Thanks for the help. Did you have to have surgery to get rid of loose skin? I'm know I will. I'm still having trouble finding someone to do my fill. nearest I've found is LA, Ca That's almost 400 miles from me. Cost is $365 I can't afford fills every 6 weeks. Thanks for getting back with me. Dawn

Hi Sades, I know it's hard for me at night also. I was reading through the messages where people are only getting 1 cc's for there fills and it taking a year to reach restriction. I still don't have an appointment for my first fill. It sounds to me like the Dr's are more interested in getting more money then helping the weight loss process. Again I ask is there anyone out there who got thier LB in another country, who has a good fill station near Reno NV???? Sorry Sades I'm very frustrated. :{ Let me know if you here any reply's please. I'm not on enough message boards I guess. Anyway keep up the good work and have a great weekend! Your friend in NV, Dawn

Tricia, Thank you for your reply. How long did it take you to loose your weight? Have you completely made your goal weight? As I posted earlier I'm way of my goal so far. I want to get on track this month before it gets too hot here. I get very fatigued when it's hot. If you have any advice i;m open to learn anything that will help me. Thank you, Dawn

Sades, I'm still waiting for my appointment, I hope to get in before the week is up. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm glad you are headed in the right direction. I'm so behind on my goals for 2 months. I'll be joining a gym soon. I'm sure that will help me. What is your routine like everyday? What do you eat and what kind of exercise do you do? I eat mostly chicken and veggies, walk every day. I need to make a few changes still, the fill will help get me going I'm sure. Have a great day!!! Thanks, Dawn

I was told there would be no problem getting a fill. If there is anyone out there that gets there fills in Reno NV, please let me know if they will do the J&J bands. I can't get a live person to talk to. I talked to someone named billy once, who told me to fax the info to them and I could get an appiontment, well that was last week and I've left 5 messages. :mad: I would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks, Dawn

I'm still waiting for the Doc's office to return my call to schedule an appiontment. :{ I've found it very hard to get after care when you've had the surgery in another counrty. I need my fill. when I call the Doc's office it just goes to voice mail and I've left 4 messages. I quess I'll have to drive down there and make an appiontment. Now I'm worried about paying 300 for the fill and getting cheated. I can't afford to keep going back for fills every month. Has anyone had got a fill the first time and felt it was working for them? Any tips on what to say to get the right amount? I'm really feeling alone here. :cursing: Thanks, Dawn

hi, my name is Dawn, I live in Reno and I have the J&J band. May I ask where you get your fills? I was told LA & Vegas are the closest to Reno. Thanks, my email is dwalton1@hotmail.com -
I had the JJ done on Dec 14 th in Monterrey Mexico, I was told to wait 6 weeks to get my fill. I think I can eat more then I should be able to. I'm not even sure who to see to get my fill. I plan to contact the fill centers USA. I've lost 12 lbs since my op. You can contact me at my e-mail dwalton1@hotmail.com
