anyone ever used Dr. Westmoreland in Murphressboro for a fill



Recommended Posts

I live in NW Al. I am looking for a Dr close to me that will do a fill. I was banded in Tijuana by Dr. Ortiz and have had 1 fill (1.8cc). All the local Drs. (with in 2 hours drive) are either such jerks :thumbup: because I didn't use them or they want to overcharge me to the point they should be embarrassed. :tt2:

Has anyone ever used Dr. Westmoreland in Murphressboro, Tn?

thanks for your input

Hello,

I live in Murfreesboro, I was banded by Dr. Eckles, Dr. Westmorelands partner. I have never been filled by Dr. Westmoreland, but I hear he is great. Now , Dr. Eckles is wonderful if you want to consider him. And on a side note, Dr. Eckles has the band himself, so he knows what it feels like to have a fill, restriction etc. I am very pleased with him.

thanks Laura, sorry about the spelling on your city. what can you tell me about your experience? how many fills have you had? when did you know you needed another one? how much were your fills? who did your fills? and did they use a fluroscopy? how did they know how much to fill you if they didn't. what did they charge you for your surgery and your fills?

I have had my fill for 2 weeks today and I haven't lost any more weight, I can till eat what ever and as much as ever if I liked, as long as I eat slow and chew things up really good.:thumbup:

thanks,

reneej

My overall experience with the Murfreesboro Surgical Clinic has been great. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I have had 4 fills and one unfill in the past year. I will be going back in a few weeks to get refilled. I can tell I need another fill when I get hungry less than 4 hours between meals and the amount I eat is over one cup. Dr. Eckles did my fills and I have not had any under fluro as of yet. He makes you drink Water as he fills you to see how much you need. My surgery and fills are covered by my insurance. I think my surgery was around $16k, had to have a hernia repaired also. I think fills are around $250 but could be wrong. I would just call their office and talk to them, ask for Angela, she is the best.

Thanks,

Laura

      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.
