Looking for a fill doctor in Richmond, VA



Recommended Posts

Had my surgery in Mexico - loved the doctor. Lost ~10 lbs after surgery, then another 5 lbs after first fill (2 mls, in Mexico). Now most days I can eat too much. Not losing much any more. I've been about the same weight for a couple of months. I would like to get a further fill. I'd prefer a doctor that uses barium. I am hoping to find one within 3 hours drive - Wash DC - Richmond VA I'm willing to go further, though if I can do it in half a day.

I called a few doctors in the area that do lap banding and they were saying they only do fills on their on patients.

Also I am interested in a support group. I'm still addicted to food! The band helps, but I think I eat even more sugar than before! It goes down easier than a lot of other things.

Dr. Susan Brinkley

198 Thomas Johnson Dr. #200

Frederick, MD 21702

301-668-2800

She only does fills on the last Wednesday of each month so it can be tough getting an appt soon. If they are booked up for the current month, try calling a day or two before and see if there are any cancellations. She's quick -- in and out in less than 15 minutes. $200 flat fee. No insurance accepted on fills. (You can submit on your own after paying her, if your insurance covers it.)

Carrie22803 from the MD board goes to her. Good Luck

Check out my doctor, Newport News Office, 757 591-9572, he's only 45 min from Richmond. Great doctor to boot.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
