Fill Doctors in Southern California?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know any fill doctors with reasonable fees in Southern California?

I am thinking of getting a little un-fill and don't want to drive to TJ.

I know of a great doctor in San Jose, Ca.

Dr. Robert Mckeen www.southbaybariatrics.com

He charged me $75.00 for a (his first) blind fill.

He did remove most of my first fill,(check for leaks) then gave me a fresh fill.

Good luck

anted somewhere around $150, call the day before the appointment so say that I'd need endoscopy first.

There was once more chance, but it was tough to get through his office, he wan't in town every day and by then I was exhausted anyway. I went to Mexico. This time I went to Mexico directly. It was fun and had I planned in advance, it would have been easy.

Thank you I'll keep that in mind.

I think it's been bothering me because today has been one of those days that things just don't go down. And the fact that I am stupid and as good as I look now (15 lbs. away from goal) I feel sorry for myself. Part of it may be because I am going on a cruise in 2 weeks and already feel deprived. I know I AM STUPID!!!

Thanks for listening,

Mary

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
