I am from atlanta, GA and would like to get my first fill, (i got banded 25th Sept) So its been 7 weeks and I have lost a total amount of 21-22lbs. But now i feel I can eat anything with no restriction and I have just been going to the gym to mantian my weight. I went to fillcenterusa and there is a location in GA but that clinic just opened recently and the nurse/fill woman has only been doing it for 2-3 months, im not sure if i feel too comfortable with her being so new. I have contacted Dr. Ponce in Dalton,GA but he requires $2000 upfront and similar to another doctor in TN, since that amount is too pricey for me I would like someone relatively cheaper 300-400. Any suggestions will be helpful-thank you

jack i love the way you write and respond to bandsters with your positive and encouraging spirt, its very contagious. Please never lose that flow in writing as they are many days when i suffer from flash eating but then i think about your posts and each one of them has a very clear cut on controling our mind, emotions, habits and it just keeps me away from resuming to my past life. Thank you for your well selected words I appreciate it alot and im sure everyone else does too :xena_banana: Banded 9/26/06 Total Weight loss 31 lbs

how was your fill experience in GA?

You have to fast for 8 hrs prior to fill. Nothing to be taken by mouth.

Im 10 min away from downtown Atlanta, My experience was good at the fill center-I had my appointment at 6pm so i stayed over night there (its in the middle of no where, hehehe) but you are in good hands, Nurse Zelby is very nice and found my port immedietly. My first fill is 1.5 cc which i got done on the 15th of nov and I can definetly notice restriction. How are you doing so far?

Yeah I had gotten a fill done last week and I was fine, hardly any pain. Im also from GA, (Atlanta), I went to the fill center in Moultire (4 hrs away), where are you going for your fills?

So I was really bent on just getting it done as soon as possible as Iam already 7.5 weeks post op and should have gotten it done by 6 weeks. Anyhow I have an appointment with Darlene Zebley from www.fillcenterusa.com,shes very south of Atlanta so its a good 4 hrs from here. The total cost is 499 which includes floro and after my first time i think its 375 with floro. So its not so bad, and speaking to julie from fillcenter Nurse. Zebley sounded pretty good but I will update you after i come back. Her office location is : Darlene Zebley 2509 S. Main St. Moultrie, GA 31768
