Need help in finding a fill doctor



Recommended Posts

I was planning to get my fills at Barix Clinic in Ypsilanti but was informed when I called that Dr. Kam is leaving and is booked solid till he leaves Nov. 1. I have already called about 8 different Bariatric surgeons and no one will do an outside fill.

Does your doctor do fills from people who have gone to Mexico for their band? Can you give me a name and phone number. I really need a fill bad.

Call the lapband center of michigan in port huron. They will do it if you have complete medical records from your lapband surgeon sent over.

;I spent the who day online and on the phone, searching for a fill doctor. I went to the Inamed website and checked out list of seminars within a 100 mile radius and then called them all (plus others) and this is what (or should I say who) I found.

Port Huron Hospital: 810-989-3328 Two charges, one for hospital and one for the surgeon. Runs about $132.00

Kalamazoo: 269-978-0610 Consultation $100.00 and if they do fill at the same day, cost is $250.00 Additional fills $200.00

Hillsdale: 517-437-5350 Fills are $110.00&lt

;Flint: McLaren Bariatrics 888-342-5470 $190.00 for the facilities and $225.00 for a fill. (I think I can just about go back to Mexico for this price)

Ypsilanti: Barix Clinic Dr. Kam did fills but he is leaving Nov. 1 and he is booked solid and not taking new patients. They do not have a replacement for him yet. So, they might still do them after Nov. when a new doctor comes on board.

Detroit area hospitals either haven't called me back or they don't do fills for outside patients.

This is my list........I won't list the dozen or more that don't do fills for outside patients. Trust me, this is what I came up with within a 100 mile radius.

Has anyone used any of these places ? And how was it?

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
