There is also a FillCenter USA in Mt. Laurel - just over the bridge. I was planning on going there for my fills, but I work in Phila, so I think I'll check out Abington too.

Thanks for the info.

Does the Doctor at Abington use Fluro to fill?

I'm a bit leery of FillCenters USA in general, and I heard a horror story on LBT about that FillCenter location not really doing a fill on a girl. A "phantom fill", if you will.

Hi Fox,
Although I'm sure they are capable of the Fluro fills I never had it done. It took 6 fills to get me right. 10cc's in a 10cc band.
Are you getting banded in Mexico? I was able to have it done cheaper at Abington then going to Mexico. Plus sure was nicer being in my bed with the remote in my hand vs. riding home in a jet next day. Be sure you check out both ways.
Tom

I'm planning on having it done in MX, yes. How much was the surgery at Abington, if you don't mind me asking?

Hi Everyone,

I need a Philly "Phill" but I was banded in Mexico. Do you all know of Doctors that will fill me??? Please advise via private message, since I'm not able to read the forum regularly.

THANKS!!!!!

I'm in Delaware and my doctor is in Newark - Dr. Irgau. He has 2 or 3 other doctors with him that do the same thing. I haven't gotten my first fill yet, but if you can travel to Newark (its only about 45 minutes away from Philly and his office is off of I-95) I would definitely go see him. He and his partners are amazing.

Fill Center USA - Mt. Laurel NJ

I just wanted to update this thread because I had my first fill today at the above location and it was a great experience. I opted for Flouro for my first fill. Before we even started the fill, I met with the doctor for a good 20-25 minutes while he reviewed the best way to make the fills work, the important rules of banding, etc... Now I was very familiar with everything because of my pre-band research, but it was still great to hear again face to face. Then we went into the xray room and confirmed that the band was where it should be and everything looked normal.

He found the port with no problems and I started drinking water. We found a spot that worked, I drank the tasty white stuff and then I was on my way.

This board can be great, but I'm glad that I didn't let The Fox's post above deter me from a very convenient (for me), very positive fill experience.

Good luck to all Philly fillsters!

Newblew
