I am moving to Washington, DC in a few months. Anyone know of a fill doctor in that area (northern Virginia or southern Maryland would work, too).

Thanks for any information!

was only about a 3 hour drive and even though we could have made the
round trip in a day we decided to stay on over night and get out an
experience Nashville. This was Kelli's first fill since her surgery
back on December 27th. She has lost about 30 lbs now and she was
very excited about getting her first adjustment. They did the procedure
under Flourascopy "which required us to have to follow our nurse
over to a imaging center which was about 20 minutes further from the
clinic" but I am glad we did it this way so we could confirm 100%
where Kelli's access port is. They ended up only putting in .8 cc's
which I know does not sound like it was enough but at the time it
was all she could handle, any more and she just shut closed completely.
The whole procedure only took about 2 hours from the moment we
arrived.

This clinic is part of the group listed on the Fill Center USA
website and their prices are very reasonable at only $300.00 for your first
fill and $150.00 for each additional. The Flouroscopy was extra and
optional, but if you have insurance they will bill your insurance
company directly. We were told that they are very successfull with
getting the insurance to pay for the service, she mentioned that it
had something to do with how they coded it to get payed. Anyway I
feel very comfortable in recomending them for anyone local in Georgia,
Alabama, South Carolina, or the sourounding area. Debra Kleven was
super nice and made us feel very welcome. She even gave us her cell
phone number and told my wife if she experienced too much
restriction she would meet us back at the clinic on Saturday to make an
adjustment before we left to go back home. Here is the information on the clinic and the location address:

Lamplight Health Care Providers L.L.C
Dr. Winston Griner M.D., Debra Kleven MSN ACNP,
2603 Elm Hill Pike, Suite K
Nashville, TN 37214
Phone: 615-349-6927

Stephen & Kelli Wallace / Atlanta, Georgia

Are you sure that number for the office is correct? I've been trying to get through, to no avail. I even used directory assistance and they have no listing for Dr. Griner, neither Debra Kleven.

HELP! I need a fill....

WOW,

A great deal has changed since I left this last posting over 18 months ago, first of all the clinic in TN is no longer open, I would guess the closest for you would be here in Atlanta if you live up in TN that is. Go to this web link www.fillcentersusa.com to look for the closest location to you, we use NP Darlene Zebley in Roswell, Georgia which is just north of Atlanta. She is great and she also only does her fills through Flouroscopy and charges a very reasonable $120.00 plus the fill which is $165.00 so totalit is $285.00.. Still it is a very good deal due to the fact with Flouroscope you are gauranteed to get a good fill.

Me and my wife kelli have both seen Darlene Zebley at least 3 times in the last 14 months and we are both very happy with her. She scheadules appointments on every 1st and 3rd weekend of each month and see's patients on Saturday's & Sunday's as well.

Good Luck, Stephen Wallace

Any body know of a fill doctor in the Edmonton, Alberta area?

I just moved from San Antonio to upstate SC and had no idea that it would be this difficult to get a fill. I have had my band since March 07 and have lost 48 pounds. I suddenly need a fill and I've been freaking out that I cannot get help. I just cannot believe the surgeons will not take my (fairly successful) case on and one nurse said "we" are just a liability for them! I will fly back to good ol' Dr. Pilcher in Texas if I have to but I'd rather go to the fillcenterusa that I just learned of yesterday. Does anyone know if the ones near Charlotte NC are any good? I need a fill and soon! I've gained 3 pounds suddenly!!

I live in Monroe, LA area, and we have a shortage of fill options. A local doc only fills his own patients. Another does them "sometimes". (A quack, IMO!) A local clinic started doing them for $200.00 with fluoroscopy, but their fluoroscopy machine stays broke down.
Does anyone know of any in this area??

Desperate in NE LA!

I use fill centers usa. I think they are only the middle man in the deal and each nurse is different. My nurse is awesome. She has never had a problem getting in and giving me a fill and does not use flouro. The first visit was $299 and each fill after is $155. They did have some package deal though. I would suggest checking out their website or giving them a call.

pearlygirl · 01-26-2008, 11:30 PM

Where do you guys live that this is so expensive? I am in Omaha and my surgeon does his own fills with fluoroscopy and only charges $150 per visit/fill.

Thanks for the info - However, we don't have any FillCenters around this area. (closest is about 300 miles) Guess I'll have to wait on the fluoro machine repairs. The shame is, my Mexico MD will do them for free if I go to him, but with airline ticket costs - Whew!!
