Fill drs in upstate NY?

Hapygrl · January 24, 2007

Hello all,

I am searching for a follow up care/fill doc that is near the North Country (in NY.) I have found a doc through the USA fill centers, but the doc is in Maryland and this is about a 4 hr drive for me. I was banded in Mexico and this is likely important to know since some docs won't follow unless they placed the band. I am in Plattsburgh, NY, which is about 1 hour south of montreal and a rock's throw to Vermont (just to give you all an idea.) Albany, NY is not too far-about 2.5 hours. I would like to find something within 3 hours from here if possible. :help: !

Thanks in advance for your input!

**OOOPs!:omg: That would be RI that I have to travel to, NOT Maryland as I previously stated. My bad!

Maryland is alot more than 4 hours away. I live near DC and travel to Oswego to see my brother. It is an 8 1/2 hour trip. How about Syracuse?? There is a huge medical staff there. Diane H.

They have a selection on their site for locating a surgeon near you and may be able to help finding a fill doctor. BTW- My dad grew up in Witherbee so I know you're up there quite a ways. I'd like to think there has to be someone in either Burlington or Albany. Good Luck!, Sean

Thanks. There is a doc in Albany, but I am not sure that he would pick me up being that I was not banded by him. I did send an email to Albany Med, but have yet to hear back. I would also be willing to travel to Rochester, NY since I have family there and could always make a visit along with the fills and checkups. Syracuse is about 4 hours from here, so I would just stick with RI, which is a bit under 4.

Hi Lisa,

i have a similar problem. Three hours to see my surgeon, lunch, and three hours back!

i called another bariatric surgeon's office today and they said if i would transfer my records etc.that he would take me as a patient and give me my fills. This office is only 45 mins. away.

i am going to pray about this, do some research and think!!!! Mostly pray!

Hope this encourages you.
