Rhode Island fill clinics or local



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, my name is Danyal and I was banded on July 21st, 2008. Since then, I had lost about 25lbs. In october, I was supposed to get my second fill done, but moved back home to Rhode Island. So, my progress has been since put to a hault, and I just want o get back on the road. I live here in Rhode Island, and have been having trouble finding a good doctor (And affordable) to do my fills with. I was wondering if anyone on here knew of a great doctor local to rhode island that they wouldn't mind sharing with this lil' ol girl. Thanks for your time everyone, I really appreciate it!:thumbup:

Hello, I don't know any in the area...

But have you tried asking your original doc if they can recommend someone in the area? Or, find a local lap band support group (local hospitals should be able to help you find out) and then ask people at the group who they use, to get a feel for docs in the area..

I go to Dr Roye in Providence - he is OK - HATE Annette his secretary. It is a large office and they do a TON of bands and bypasses so if you see a different doc you may not have to deal with Annette. Bottom line I'm not a fan of the health care in RI and had been going to Lahey in MA for years but a switch in my health insurance this past Jan forced me to Roye - I had done all the pre-op in MA.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
