Fill doctors in North Carolina or Va

[sundance 0]

:help: I have an appointment for my first fill with Dr. Lisa Harris at Chase Wellness & Research Center in Virginia Beach. Has anyone had a fill with her? It is 3 hrs away, does anyone know a Doctor in Eastern North Carolina that will do a fill on a person that was banded in Mexico?

I went and really liked her. She was extremely nice and we talked for a while and I did not feel rushed at all. I will probably go back to her.

Thats good.How was she with the fill.She get it the first time?

Did you go thru her thru Fill Center Usa?

I was a little nervous because she had only done 4 fills before me. She did get the fill in on the first stick. She was very nice. I felt like I had some restriction the first few days but now not so much.

Yes, I did go through Fill Centers USA.

Did she say how much she gave you?

I was thinking about going thru them but was wondering.I know the first amount is $299.00 Then after is $150 right? And i think I seen a $75 office visit. Do you have to pay the 150 and 75? Or is it like if you go and dont get a fill you just pay $75.

Sorry if I confused you.

Yes the first visit was 299 and its 150 for each visit after, unless they cannot give you a fill. Then you only have to pay 75. But...She does not do a fill under fluro. If you need to have the fluro done, I'm guessing they send you somewhere else.

Good Luck on your journey

No do not use Dr Harris. First fill she poked me three times before she found my port. Next fill it took her 12 times.

Now i think i have a damaged port. Dr Harris told fill center USA that she was sucessful the first poke on the first visit

and on the third try the second fill. Why would she lie.

I am suppose to have 2.8 cc's in a 4 cc band. I have not had any restriction since my first fill.

Now fill center usa reccomened a Dr in NJ so that i can get a fluro for another 300.00

Stay away from lisa harris at chase wellness center in va beach! Have your fills done with a fluro it will save you money in the long run.

do you have to replace your port? There is no place that uses flouro around here. I need a fill on the 22nd. Do I ha ve to go back to Mexico???

[garlock08 0]

I will find out more about my port on June 1st. That is the day I will have my fluro. I live in northern VA so it is the same distance for me to go to Mount Laurel NJ. Fill Centers USA helped me to find the Dr. Thomas Lee The practice name is Mount Laurel Family Practice. The Dr.

is going to meet me at a place called South Jersey Radiology for my fluro. The cost for the fluro is $300.00

If they find no damages to my port I will get an unfill to see exactly how much I have in my band and then I will

get a larger fill for another 165.00

If I have damages I will go back to Dr Rod in Mexico to have it repaired. I do not know how much that would cost.

If you do decide to go to Dr. Lisa Harris do not let her poke you more than three times.

If I could do it over I would do all of my fills with a fluro.

When is your appointment?

[HillaryC 0]

I think I will go to MD to that dr there or back to Ortiz...

how long have you had your band?
