Fill and follow doctors in North or South Carolina ?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of any Fill/Follow up doctors in North or South Carolina.

I was banded by Dr. Sanchez a few years ago in Mexico. I was seeing Dr. Allen in Kentucky when I lived in Indiana. Since then I have moved.

Most doctors do not want to do follow up on anyone other than the patients they have done surgery on.

Thanks for your help.

:help:Thank you regarding the Fill Center USA. I went to their website and it didn't have a location near me.

I am concerned about what I have been reading about the centers. I want to be sure to go to a quality doctor since I think I am having acid reflux as a result of the band.

Are there any other follow up doctors....even in adjoining states

Regards

Okay here is doctors in your local ara that will do your fills as long as you can get them a copy of your records - Dr. Keith Gersin, Dr. Timothy Kuwada they are part of the CMC Mercy Bariatrics Center in Charlotte, NC 28204 704-355-9484

If this doesn't work for some reason -- let me know.

Good Luck!

Smatyas,

I called fillcentersusa today and they said that the Denver, NC wouldn't start scheduling until mid-July. Maybe I misunderstood. They said they would contact me once they started scheduling.

Thank you for all the info...it will definitely help.

I mainly need to find someone for follow up since I am having some pain and acid reflux associated with my band.

Do the fill doctors also check to see if the band is ok? I don't want another fill...I just want to be sure that my band is ok.

I thought I could find a resource from my band doctor but I can't call Dr. Sanchez in Monterrey, Mexico because I found out a few months back that he had been murdered (terrible thing to have happened...he seemed so nice!!).

Thanks again:)

Hi Bonnie -- the doctor's office will be able to take over care for all your band needs. I would give them a call.

I live outside of Charlotte I found Dr Gonzales in Winston Salem, I saw him on Thurday. He was great. The fill cost me 525.00 But a lot cheaper than spending 2 days traveling to Mexico. He does it at the hospital, I was in and out in about 30 minutes.

Hi Lauriann -- this is great to know, thanks for the update.

Did they do it under flouro (sp? - live xray?)

I travel every other week -- so I try to have at my finger tips WHO to see if I need to when I am in that area having issues.

Thanks again!

      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.
