Drove 2.5 Hours and FillUSA called to cancel



Recommended Posts

lap dancer,

Reading your post about signs made me feel better. My surgeon, Dr. Mejias, called 7 days before my surgery and said pay upfront or no surgery. Now, mind you, I had been in the process for 8 months. I went in to see him for my pre-opt visit and was told to pay the part insurance did not pay or no surgery. I walked out because I felt his policy was unfair. Maybe it was a sign.

I just wanted to chime in and say that I had my second fill with Darlene Zebley of Fill Centers USA on Saturday, and she is awesome. Her son and daughter assist (daughter is the receptionist and son works the fluoroscope) and they really take the time to put you at ease and let you know that they care. Darlene does a great job with the stick and fill, and even though I came away with not enough on my first fill, I'm doing pretty good with the second (though I'm pretty sure I need another). She really looks for a balance, so you don't go away overfilled.

I can't tell you how thrilled I am to know I have someone competent and close-by to take care of my fills for me. So, so thrilled.

(Also, her son is really hot, probably late 20's or early 30's, any ladies on the market for cute one?)

I also had my second fill in Roswell with darlene this past Saturday (Nov 17th). It was a good experience, and will save a lot of money and time as compared to trips back to Mexico. I am thankful to have the option within driving distance from home. She and the office staff were all very nice, and the procedure went just fine.

Oh, I made a point of letting her son know I wasn't there because he is "hot" as previously posted. :)

(They were aware of the post.)

Vex, I see you were there the same day I was. That was my third fill. All my experiences have been great. I just wish they are closer. It's worth the drive though to put me at ease.

I didn't even realize they were all related until my last visit. I don't know how I missed that they all look alike. Her son is a cutie and they are all so sweet. I feel so comfortable as long as they keep doing fills in Roswell, I will keep coming.

Hi,

I have also gone through fillcenterusa for my fills (I am 2 years out). I have not had a fill in Duluth (I live in Griffin, Ga-by the way my sister lives in Dalton). If you get to Duluth and use the fluro machine, will you email me and let me know how it goes?

Thanks,

Bette

      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.
