bonjeanie 0 Posted June 14, 2007 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. Bonnie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonjeanie 0 Posted June 19, 2007 :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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skyeblu79 0 Posted June 21, 2007 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonjeanie 0 Posted June 21, 2007 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:) Bonnie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauriann 0 Posted July 7, 2007 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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! Gina Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
