Help I Need A Fill Dr. In Tennessee



Recommended Posts

Where in Tennessee? If you're close to Atlanta, Fill Centers USA has someone in Roswell 2 weekends a month. Someone else also mentioned a place in Chattanooga - try a search if you're near there.

Sorry, I don't have info about your state but you can always go to Jackson Mississippi to Dr. David Carroll. He is my doctor and I was initially banded in Mexico. I know it is a 3.5 hour drive from Memphis but I guess it's closer than Atlanta and he is a bariatric surgeon who performs lapband surgery so he knows what he is doing.

His website is:

Physicians, Doctors, David R. Carroll and David S. Miller, Jackson, MS

Hope this helps.

I live near Chatt. TN. I had my surgery in Mexico on Aug. 27, 2007. I have lost 16 pounds but I know it is time for a fill because I can eat more now. How do I do search for the doctors in Chattanooga. I am new to the internet and I found this site by accident. Do you know the name of anyone in Chatt.?

I have just recently discovered Dr. King in Oxford, Ms. I feel so blessed to have found someone who will take care of me.

I contacted the docs in Jackson and was told they do fills, but don't see you as a pt. I need someone to take care of me when I have issues and if I need an x-ray procedure to see what's wrong, I need to know I have a doctor who will do that for me.

I don't really understand the stigma of Mexico. What's the difference where you went if you went out of the country, why do they have such a problem with Mexico?

If you are anywhere close to Memphis, Dr. McGrath-Weaver at St. Francis Hospital might take you. I don't know if she takes patients that were banded in Mexico, but I know she takes patients that were banded by other US surgeons, so it's a possibility that she might take you.

      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.
