Has anyone used the Fill Centers USA?



Recommended Posts

I will be moving to Florida in the fall, and leaving my surgeon behind :frown:. I noticed that there is a Fill Center USA within 15 miles of our new home, and wondered if anyone had experience with them, good or bad.

Thanks!

I have never heard of band fill centers, are they cheaper than md office visits

I'm not sure about the cost...although I had heard that they will not file for insurance coverage. I'm looking into it because I am relocating away from my surgeon, and getting a fill doctor is not always easy.

I had my first fill at FillCenterUSA, Denver NC.

I only had a three questions and he answered them before I could ask and almost all in the same sentance.

It was $349 for the first visit and $165 for the next. I spoke at length w/ Charlotte, FillCenter, after speaking w/ a few more before her. She was great. The others didn't seem to have the experience as Charolotte.

I asked if there was a customer service record for the MD...sure enough. He had a 4.7 out of 5. I would rate him a 5.

Now this was my first visit...the fill was a breeze. I hear they can get tougher.

BTW, a local MD ageed to see me....$350 a pop and not w/ an xray either.

Also, the FillCenter MD said using a fluro wasn't necessary. Has anyone ever been told that.

I have used the fill center in NOrthern California through the fill center and was happy with them. I also dealt with Charolette and like her alot . Same as reported before 365 for the first fill and 165 after. No problems and I liked the fill doctor they sent me to............

I do not regret it but it has not been an easy road. I would do it again though. Good luck!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
