Need help finding a Dr. in Nashville

[amykns 0]

I live in Hendersonville, and I need to find a Dr. that will do a fill on someone they did not band. I have had my band for 6 years, and no fill for the last 4 of those. I called a few doctors on Friday and was told $500 for a fill, and NO they don't see people they didn't do surgery on. I was 289 day of surgery 1/3/03 and I am 250 today... I am so ready to get back on the wagon and get this weight off... PLEASE HELP!!!

My surgeon was Dr. Willie Melvin with the Vanderbilt Weight Loss Clinic. He is absolutely wonderful! I don't know if he'll fill you if he didn't place your band, but it's worth a shot. He is very reasonable and really listens to your problems. When insurance denied me twice, he took me on as a special project, and got me approved. I cannot say enough good things about him. Call him--if he won't do it, I'd be willing to bet that he can point you in the right direction.
