Looking for a fill doctor in Richmond, VA

[Ellieroo 0]

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.
