Centennial Center For The Treatment Of Obesity?



Recommended Posts

Anyone gone there? I'm in Birmingham, AL and I'm having a hard time finding a fill doc for the mexican banded (I know, I know... I should've done that beforehand) and I heard they did. Any info is appreciated! ;-)

I see Dr. Houston for my fills. He's the only one that I know of that will fill patients that were banded in Mexico in this area. I have two friends that drive from Huntsville to Nashville for fills because they can't find anyone in Alabama that will give adjustments if you were banded in Mexico.

Stephanie,

I would call his office and ask to speak with Gina Elkins. She arranges all of the fill appointments and can give you a breakdown on price. He sees you in his office, then you go a block away to Centennial Hospital for your fill using Flouro. http://www.cmcwls.com/houston.php

Hope this helps! Good luck! :)

Stephanie if your not to far from Murfreesboro they are wonderful there. And Im pretty sure they will see you if youve been banded in Mexico. Dr Eckles and Dr. Westmoreland are great. They are very careing drs and their staff is too. Dr Eckles did my surgrey on 3/21/07 and Ive lost 129 lbs it is a wondering feel have lost the weight. And the support groups are great. Good Luck on finding a Dr

Dr Morton at Baptist(Nashville) is my doctor and while I was in there one day he was mentioning to his nurse the girl before me had hers done in Mexico so he must see patients that had them done in Mexico. Good luck it is just an option for you to try, I can't tell you for sure but that is what I heard him saying.

That's good to know.

How long has Dr. Morton been at Baptist? I remember him being at Southern Hills

I was banded by Dr Houston at Centennial center for the treatment of obesity - it was a great experience. I lost 30lbs in my first 5 weeks. Already had my first fill but do not feel much restriction. He added 2cc to my 10cc band.

I do recommend him.

Oh, and his secretary was banded too so she know how to help. All I need now is to find support groups.

      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.
