I go to Fill USA. They come to an office in Roswell 2 times a month and have been very good. If you haven't chosen a doctor yet I highly recommend Time 4 Change website and Dr. Zappata. he was great. Good Luck : ) I pay $ 120.00 to fill USA and then they use a fluroscopy machine to see the fill and I pay $160 to them.

anybody out there diabetic and taking pills and insulin? How's the weight loss? I work out 3 x a week with weights and machines plus 32 min. on the treadmill but weightloss is very slow. I am getting frustrated, Banded 4/08 and have lost 55 lbs but have a lot to go : (

I did it in Mexico with Dr. Zappata. It was wonderful. It cost $7000 not counting the flight. I have lost 51lbs. so far. It is a constantly learning experience. What works one day does not work the next day. I do recommend it.I am not sorry I did it for a minute. It is a journey and I still have a ways to go.

they also have an office in Roswell GA. It is so much closer than Moultrie. -
wow! I was banded 4/7/08. I have had two fills. My last one was the end of July. I cannot eat any beef at all. It won't stay down. I can't seem to eat pork or bacon either. Chicken and fish is my mainstay. If I can keep food down for 3 or 4 days, then I can't keep anything but protein shakes or soup down for the next 3 days. I have lost 51 lbs. I work out with a personal trainer 2 x's a week and on my own 3 including cardio. I am amazed how so many others can eat most foods. Can't eat pizza, pasta or rice either. Am I doing something wrong?

Vote for your favorite protein drink!
dshyre replied to photo's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I really like Champion Whey protein low sugar in chocolate. I mix it with water and some coffee every morning for breakfast. If I can't seem to keep my food down, I make a shake using this, some skim milk and no sugar added Eddy's slow churned mint choc. chip icecream. It tastes good and is satisfying. -
I have been to fill center in Roswell 2 times and have been over filled. I have been throwing up for two weeks and will probably need an unfill again. This should not happen as I am paying for the fleuroscopy too. I am very disappointed! This is exactly what happened after my first fill. Shouldn't they know from the first time not to put as much in the second time?

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 just had my second fill with fill center in Georgia. They used the fleuroscopy and I believe I have been over filled again. I have been vomiting and sliming anytime I have anything beyond a protein shake or broth. Now they want to charge me again for fleuroscopy and an unfill. This is a week and two days since my fill. Is this normal? Does anyone know where I can go for a fill with a doctor instead of fill center usa? I am not happy how expensive this is getting. $165 for a fill or unfill and $120 for the fleuroscopy each time. Having to do it twice each time I have a fill is ridiculous not counting how bad the vomiting is to my stomach. -

This is such a lot of crap. I guess that is how they justify why they won't cover any weight loss surgery. I had to self pay and went to Monterrey, Mexico. Thank you Dr. Zappata for making it available at a price I could afford. 35 pounds lost since surgery 4/7/2008 -
Go to Ready4AChange web site. The surgery is $7,000 dollars done in Monterrey Mexico

Gonna break down and get an UNfill...
dshyre replied to TerriDoodle's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have been going through the same thing. I had the fill 2 weeks ago. The first week seemed fine but the second week has been awful. I can't even drink much. I am not getting enough protein. I have pbing whenever I eat soup or even my protein drink. I am scheduled for an unfill this Saturday and am looking forward to being able to eat any kind of solid at all. I hope I am doing the right thing. I want to continue to lose but don't want to be miserable. -
had my 1st fill but as nothing is there!!!
dshyre replied to salam's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded 4/07 and had my first fill on 5/17. I am more restricted this week than last week. I can't have any solids and I am even having trouble with liquids. I think I may need an unfill. They filled 2.2ccs. Anybody know if this is too much? I don't feel too well. Never hungry and getting my medication in is a real problem. It takes over an hour to drink a protein shake.
