Looking for Fill Doc in Northern Cal



Recommended Posts

I'm going to Italy in the end of March for LapBand surgery - wondering if anyone has any recommendations on fill and follow up docs in either the Sacramento or Bay Area - also what is the average cost for the fills?

I don't live in california but because my husband works in Sac I have a whole list of aftercare and fill docs, just in case of need when I'm down there. If you'd like I can email them to you.

Dr. McKeen is in San Jose and he is awesome. He charges $200 for a fill. Not sure what his price is if you don't have surgery with him. Good luck.

Yes, I have heard about the doc in Roseville, but he is not accepting new patients right now. I'm on the waiting list...but dont want to wait!

I am down in san Bernardino county (had my surgery in Mexico) and went to a new doctor through Fill Centers USA, in Las vegas. He has only been doing fills for about 8 months, but he did mine a couple weeks ago, and he was great! He is very personable and there was no pain whatsoever! He talked to me about everything, even told me right up front he just had the training in April and though it was a rough start, he thinks he has it down now (the fills). He does, I would not have know he hadn't been doing them long. If you can't find one closer I recommend him.

Oh, I wanted to add that it only cost me $299 for the first appointment, $150 for future fills. I have to use fill centers because I was banded in Mexico and no one would touch me that did not do my surgery.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
