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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
