Lets chat. Where do you guys get your fills?? I go all the way to fresno. Hi this is my first day on the site and I was suprised to see anyone from my area. I am from Sonora area. I also have to go to Fresno for my fills. I was just banded on June 12th and do not have to go for my first fill for a month. I would love to chat with people in my area since, you are right, so many gastric and so few banders.:smile2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Happy Loser 0 Posted September 2, 2009 I am in Porterville, I had been going through the process with Dr. Mackenzie too but she had her own surgery about 2 weeks ago so referred me to Fresno. Dr. Swartz. I met with him today & they will be submitting to insurance this week. I just jumped on here tonight to see what i could find about Swartz. I had to do the seminar there even though I had been to 2 others and it was obvious that they are much more PRO Gastric Bypass than band. But, It's ok because while he talked on for 2 hours about GB it just convinced me further that LB is the way to go. Hope to talke with you all some more.
