I need help! I have no Dr. to do fills- Chicago

[dawndreamer 0]

I had my surgery in august of 2005 and the last fill was in november 2006. I have only lost 50 pounds for 1 thing but the big problem is my Doctor is no longer available. He is in private practice now and my insurance wont cover him. They referred me to a Dr. at Rush in Chicago but he wont do fills or even see me again. He refers me back to Dr. Shayani, who did the surgery. Does any one have any suggestions. The insurance co is not much help at this point. Dawndreamer in Palatin Illinois

You have to go through your insurance company as only they know who they contract with. You'll just have to keep calling and insist they give you some names.

There is always cash pay for fills in a pinch.

Dr Shayani also did my surgery on 9-17-07 through DayOneHealth. Weight loss is steady and I'm doing well. I'm going for my first fill in two weeks. Have you had your fills done in Oak Brook? Have they gone well for you? Its been suggested I get the fills downtown - but a long drive since I'm so close to Oakbrook. I'd appreciate your feedback. Thx

they probably suggested downtown cause they do the fills under fluoroscope there... at oakbrook he does it without... I still go to the oakbrook one only cause i hate downtown traffic.. and your charged for parking.

Good Luck and isnt Dr. Shayani awesome????

Try Dr Otto, Libertyville Il Condell Hospital, (not accepting BC/BS) does fills in his office- recently relocated one month wait on fills until equipment is set up.

also ENH(Evenston Northwest) has an office in vernon Hills and they have a Lap band specialist
