Fill doctors in San Francisco Bay Area?



Recommended Posts

Anyone know of a doctor in the SF Bay Area who does fills? I had my surgery done by Dr. Alceves in Mexicali (it was a great experience, btw; I would send my mother to him) and while he does adjustments essentially for free, you first have to make your way to San Diego. I'd like to find someone closer to home. All of the obvious candidate doctors, such as those listed on the official Lap-Band and Realize Web sites, either don't do them at all for "oustiders", or else charge a big chunk of change. (One office quoted me $450 an adustment, or a year's worth for $2,000.) I'd love to know of alternatives here in Northern California. Thanks for any tips or leads anyone might provide.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!

      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!
