Fill Centers USA ... problems and questions



Recommended Posts

delrio.

I hope you were on the debate team in high school.

Never was, but thanks for the compliment.

If not, perhaps you could find a fun Creative Writing class at your local Community College.

Really? Thanks! I'm beyond the community college stuff, but I appreciate the feedback. I've often considered creative writing, is that a hobby of yours? If you'd like to share some ideas with me via email I'd love to hear them.

Your words are elegant. Your grammar, spelling, and syntax -- bar none. I am jealous of your clear, precise thought processes and unrelenting attention to detail.

Why thank you! I'm blushing, you're altogether too kind. Please don't be jealous though. I'm sure there are areas that you excel at that I don't... like your ability to shower someone with compliments.

However, I agree with WASaBubbleButt--you were shockingly RUDE (ooppps, sorry for yelling) to Mindy.

I have to disagree with you here sweetie, I was civil. Perhaps you find me rude because when I made my points I was 'elegant', as you put it.

No one gets on these boards to have every opinion and experience they express BLASTED

I certainly didn't express my opinion to be blasted. I didn't blast anyone, either.

(oops, there I go again--tee hee) and over-analyzed by others

Are you serious?

She's just a person like you and me.

Don't think so. In fact, I'm sure of it. She's nothing like me, except that we're both banded, and we have opinions on the price of fills.

You came here to express your distaste for your fill center's pricing policy and ended up tearing coltonwade a new one and offending all of her friends.

Wow, you give me far too much credit. 'Tearing coltonwade a new one', and 'offending all of her friends'?

I sincerely hope that was not your intent.

It wasn't my intent at all. I didn't even know she had friends. I didn't mention them in my posts (since I have no idea who they are), so I'm not sure how they got offended. Do you think others might be feeling wronged because of my opinions?

Susan asked for this thread to get back on topic well over a week ago. Is there a reason you decided to fuel the fire?

Hey all! I just ran across this thread today... I use Fill Centers.. and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM! They are not condescending, do not belittle me for my choices, are very attentive to my needs/wishes.. and I get EXCELLENT followup! With the economy the way it is now, I know we are all having added financial probs; perhaps that is the reason there is such tension here? I have never seen this kind of back-and-forth arguing on this site. I think we all need to realize we are in the same boat here and we all have the same goals........ a healthier, happier life style. Lets help each other out and not attack? God Bless and Good Luck! Hope to see "less" of you in the future!

I have a hunch it is BECAUSE it has been a week since the fires were fueled.

There are good FillCentersUSA and bad ones. They are random health care providers throughout the country that contract with FillCentersUSA. Some are absolutely great, some aren't so hot. I do wish they'd tighten up the requirements to contract with them, at this point you don't even have to be an RN to do fills. That is something I fully disagree with.

Some of their staff are MDs, some are NPs, some are RNs, some are LPNs, one is a non licensed paramedic.

Me... I wanted an RN or more messing with my band. I ended up just going back to my surgeon, I felt better that way.

Well, that is very interesting Bubble... I never knew much of this. The person doing my fills is a surgeon, and he is GREAT! He takes his time and listens to MY CARES and what I WANT.. I went to him at first because he was the closest to me, but he travels back and forth between 2 clinics and I make my schedules so that I am sure to see him and ONLY HIM.. Best of luck to everyone out there trying to find the "Best Fit"..

Yes the doctors are in this to make money!! If you were worried about paying for fills, maybe you should have considered going to a doctor where all fills are covered..

Why buy the whole pig when all you really want is a little sausage?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
