Looking For A Midband Fill Doctor In Colorado

Hello everyone... I am looking for a midband fill doctor in Colorado. I am getting banded in November in France, and have a friend who gets her fills in Canyon City, Colorado but that Doctor has since stopped doing fills on new patients.

Any help would be appreciated.

Good luck to you. Many doctors will not do fills on patients they did not do surgery on to begin with, then, to do a fill on a device not yet approved in the United States could present a completely different road block.

I hope you find someone!

Hey carsonrae, I'm looking for a fil doctor in Colorado too. Preferably in Denver. I live in Montana (actually I'l be going back to college in North Dakota here in a week), but it would be nice if I could get a fill in Denver instead of going all the way to Washington or even back to Mexico. So if you ever find out about a Doctor in Colorado, will ya let me know? Thanks:cool:

I think they have a Fill Center USA here in metro Denver... the city is Thorton and I hear MANY people with the surgeries done outside of the states come to these facilities... they are little expensive... I think... but they are better than traveling all to Mexico or Washington:) Just Google Fill Center USA and then go to the find a location area.

Hope that helps!

I went thru fill center USA and went to the Dr in Thornton. I will not go back the Dr was a total jerk for my 2 nd fill. I paid 165 and was not given a fill they want to treat it as a consult and charge me 85 and refund me 80 but its been 2 weeks and I have made countless phone calls and have not seen the money back in my account. I will go to Cheyenne or would rather find another Dr in Colo. Have you found anyother Dr's.

carsonrae, is the doctor from canyon city dr. smith? his office is in pueblo and he was excellent. but i'm not sure if he will do a fill on a patient he didn't band, especially if that person got their band in a different country. (i know he has said he won't work on anyone who went to Mexico.)

but you might give him a call and find out.

I was banded by Dr. Kirshenbaum in auora/denver. His prices are low in general. I have had 2 fills with him and it was painless. I do not know what his rules or prices are for patients he didn't do the surgery on, but it would be worth calling and asking about. The office is also easy to find. (303) 695-1304

      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?

      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.
