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.

      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.
