| Fill and follow doctors in North or South Carolina ?
Does anyone know of any Fill/Follow up doctors in North or South Carolina.
I was banded by Dr. Sanchez a few years ago in Mexico. I was seeing Dr. Allen in Kentucky when I lived in Indiana. Since then I have moved.
Most doctors do not want to do follow up on anyone other than the patients they have done surgery on.
Thanks for your help.
Bonnie

| Doctors for follow Up in Carolina or adjoining states?
:help:Thank you regarding the Fill Center USA. I went to their website and it didn't have a location near me.
I am concerned about what I have been reading about the centers. I want to be sure to go to a quality doctor since I think I am having acid reflux as a result of the band.
Are there any other follow up doctors....even in adjoining states
Regards

Smatyas,
I called fillcentersusa today and they said that the Denver, NC wouldn't start scheduling until mid-July. Maybe I misunderstood. They said they would contact me once they started scheduling.

| Will the Fill Doctors do follow up if there are problems
Thank you for all the info...it will definitely help.
I mainly need to find someone for follow up since I am having some pain and acid reflux associated with my band.
Do the fill doctors also check to see if the band is ok? I don't want another fill...I just want to be sure that my band is ok.
I thought I could find a resource from my band doctor but I can't call Dr. Sanchez in Monterrey, Mexico because I found out a few months back that he had been murdered (terrible thing to have happened...he seemed so nice!!).
Thanks again:)
Bonnie

Hi Bonnie -- the doctor's office will be able to take over care for all your band needs. I would give them a call.

Skyeblue79,
I didn't find out they were ok to schedule for July until late in the day yesterday, and so the scheduling staff didn't know until around 4:30pm AZ time.
If you called before then, you were told what was correct prior to my update. Did you leave your information on the waiting list?
