I got my fill in atlanta at a usa fill center and I asked not to be filled to the max because i was afraid of vomiting but i really don"t have enough restriction now. it takes awhile for the swelling to go down and really see what your restriction will be. also you must go very slow with adding soft foods and chewing really good.Iplan on going back and getting another fill.remember vomting can be dangerous so eat accordingly.

I go to the office in Roswell and have not had to much trouble except when I was over filled having a choice of driving 5-6 hrs or waiting 2 weeks was not very convenient. I also feel the fees are very high and think its horrible to have to pay for a slight unfill with in a few weeks of paying for a fill.

I am from atlanta, GA and would like to get my first fill, (i got banded 25th Sept) So its been 7 weeks and I have lost a total amount of 21-22lbs. But now i feel I can eat anything with no restriction and I have just been going to the gym to mantian my weight.

I went to fillcenterusa and there is a location in GA but that clinic just opened recently and the nurse/fill woman has only been doing it for 2-3 months, im not sure if i feel too comfortable with her being so new.

I have contacted Dr. Ponce in Dalton,GA but he requires $2000 upfront and similar to another doctor in TN, since that amount is too pricey for me I would like someone relatively cheaper 300-400.

Any suggestions will be helpful-thank you

dr michael williams 770-500-3664 of laparoscopic institute. he really does great fills for $200. pls let them know i recommended you. thanks randie gray

Does Dr Williams use fluroscopy? and if so is there an additional fee?

Thanks and any info on Dr Williams would be appreciated.

Not everyone wants to go to FillCenter because, while it is awesome that they exist, especially for those banded in Mexico, they are quite costly. It is far cheaper for me to go back to Denver where I was banded then going to Moultrie, GA, which would be the closest for me. You also have to consider the cost of gasoline these days. I would loe to see the cost come way down, the patient load would go way up so it would remain very profitable. Just my two cents :)

Hi Randie, are you sure Dr.Williams does fills for people banded in Mexico.It would be awesome if he does. It would give me another option besides fill center usa.

      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.
