possibly moving to Tennessee...?? re: fills



Recommended Posts

I am just trying to get all of my ducks in a row and of course this is an important one. We're looking at possibly moving to the mountainous area of Tennessee near Chattanooga/Cumberland Plateau. Does anyone live close to there and have a Doc do their fills if not banded here?

I shouldn't need too much more as I am definitely at my sweet spot, but it's nice to be prepared.

If you don't find one there's a good one in Nashville, Tn. A very nice lady on this forum told me about him. Dr. Hugh Huston. Good luck, and Happy moving.

I live in Chattanooga. My surgery was performed by Dr. Jaime Ponce at the Gastric Band Institute. He is one of the most experienced surgeons in the country with the lapband, was in on the trials and is certified to train other surgeons. You can check out their website: www.gastricbandinstitute.com. There are also other doctors in Chattanooga who perform the lapband. You can contact them through Memorial Hospital Weight Management. Good luck!! You'll love Tennessee :)

I have not had my surgery yet, but in Maryville, Dr. Ray or Colquitt do fills, a little closer than Nashville. I just moved to TN from Seattle almost 1 yr ago. We are by Knoxville. Hope you move is as smooth as mine was and I hope you will like TN

You are going to LOVE LOVE LOVE this area! I live in Cleveland, about 30 miles north of Chattanooga. It is AWESOME!! The Gastric Band Institute is great. I used Dr. Paynter, but Dr. Ponce has an excellent reputation. Brooke is their clinical coordinator/nurse, and she is in the Inamed infomercials. They are a great group! What area are you looking to move to?
