HELP ! ! ! Fill doctor needed in MI



Recommended Posts

I was banded in Mexico and was planning to get my fill locally at Barix Clinic in Ypsilanti by Dr. Kam. I called this morning to make an appointment for my first fill and was informed Dr. Kam is leaving Nov.1 and he is taking no new patients since he is booked solid. So I got on the phone and started making phone calls. Must have called at least 8 different places and no one will do a fill for me. Is there anyone out there who knows where I can get a fill without having to go back to Tijuanna????????????????

Hana,

I live in PA as well. What part of PA do you live? I live in York. Anyway, I am looking for a fill dr. for after I get banded in March. How much do Fill Center's USA cost? What was your experience with them?

I live in PA, about 30min south of Harrisburg. Yes I am going outside the US. I chose Dr. Rod in Acuna. Who was your Doc? What was your experience like?

By the way, someone gave me the name of a Doc in Frederick, MD. I don't know how far that is away from you and I haven't met her yet or anything but if you wanna check her out I'll give you her info. I think she was banded as well. Her name is Susan Brinkley. The phone # is 303-668-2800. I think her fills are $200. Again this is all second hand. I have to check it out myself to set up my fills for after surgery. I'm hoping she can do them because this would be the closest option for me.

Please write back and tell me how your experience went...I like get all the perspectives I can.

Oh and Hanna, if you give me your e-mail I can forward you the list of fill Docs that Dr. Rod's office sent me. Maybe one of them would work for you?

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
