I have good and bad news.

Good news is that Los Angeles has signed up for a training.

Bad news is that it won't be until the end of August.

I was banded 6/21/07 in Tj Mexico. I am worried about finding a Dr who will do a fill for me. Anyone know of a Dr in the Palm Beach area? I imagine I will need one next month? When is a fill generally needed?

My buddy just had hers done in Tj Mex too, but she lives in Marietta and works in Buckhead. The only fill Dr she could find ended up being in Alpharetta. She's going for her first fill tomorrow. I don't know his name, but I can ask if you would like me to?

Does anyone know if FillCenters is going to open the office in Atlanta this weekend? I thought Darlene told me July 15th was the target date.

Cathy,

There was a delay on the C-Arm for the Roswell, GA location. Darlene is scheduling for this weekend in Moultrie and has a new target date for the weekend of July 20-21 but unfortunately will not be sure of that date until early next week when the C-Arm is scheduled to be delivered.

Is there anyone out there from Oregon, who has went to mexico for their lapband? I am looking for a place to get my fills. I have not been banded yet, that is on tuesday!!! Anyways I have heard that it is hard to find U.S. Dr.s that will do a fill for patients from mexico. Any one have any references, they would be greatly appreciated.

Marimaru - There are many options out there other than FillCenter. Don't know how far you are willing to go but, my doctor will see you for fills in West Hills California LAPBAND surgery – Gastric Bypass Versus LAPBAND - LAPBAND Pictures . BTW he is fantastic!

Hi! Can u tell me how much your dr. charges. West Hills is about 60 miles from me so it's definitely a possibility for me to have a fill there. I was also thinking of using Fillcenter but they r in San Diego.< /p>

Thanks!

Jenn

Fluoro in Roswell will be $200. I just got off the phone with Darlene and she said the C-Arm is supposed to be delivered on Sunday.:clap2:

I will give another update on Monday to let you all know if she will be in Roswell next weekend.

Is that $200 extra or total?

Here is the new update... The truck carrying the C-arm for delivery broke down in West Virginia... This is going to push the Roswell opening date back another week. Target date now is July 27-28 for opening.

I will keep you all updated.

      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.
