Looking for Lap Band fill around north Atlanta



Recommended Posts

HELP! My Lap Band fill provider office has been closed and I need to find another one. The provider I used to go to has an office 3 hours away but I have to believe that there is an office closer. PLEASE help me with information if you know of a provider in or around Atlanta - THANKS - Ammie

Doctor in Gadsden Alabama (100 milies from Atlanta). Does fluoro and everyone i know that has gone seems to like him. Some friends I know drove from Tenn just to go to him. Check with Fill Centers for scheduling and prices. Good luck.

Gadsden is a great choice. They are associated with FillUSA and have fluoro.

FYI it is listed as Dr. Muratta but Art (a CRNA, PhD from the office sign) does the fills and is a very patient friendly person. He answered all my questions, explained everything to me and did not hurt at all accessing my port while some providers in the past needed to stick me more than once. I have been there twice and very pleased with the results. I really like going to the medi-spa next door when I am finished. Long drive but an overall stress free day.

I am new and have not yet been banded, so please forgive me. I am just trying to get a feel for how things work before I make a decision on what it is I am going to do. Since I am in Atlanta, I just looked at the fillusa website and Gadsen is the nearest place to Atlanta, is there a reason she could not got to a doctor here to be filled?

I have a lot of friends that also use Fill Centers and I know they have one in San Antonio but havent heard opinions. I know they have one in Austin. I dont think that is too far away from San Antonio. I have heard good things about the Austin Doc. I use a Fill Center provider and loooove him I also like Fill Cneters office, the girls are real nice and they are accomodating (ask for Charlote or Ursla. I like using them because you can use any of their Docs in the entire US and they keep all of your information updated at all of the locations. I hope one of these work for you. Good luck with your fill.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
