Hi Emma---
You helped me through a VERY difficult weekend not long ago--and I DO appreciate it!!!!

I would love to see a Fill Center in Northwest New Mexico--or Southwest Colorado.

Right now the closest to us is in Albuquerque, and not always easy to get into.

I know personally of a dozen bandsters in my small town-----so there have to be a bunch I know nothing of in the bigger places!

I would love to see this come to fruition!

If anyone ever needs emergency help, I cannot tell you how nice it was to be able to call Fill Centers USA--and have a live person who cares about what is happening to you, and understands it. Emma herself called and checked on me as the week ended to make sure I was ok. They felt like my lifeline! It was Spring break here and my Dr. was gone.....they stepped up without question!!!

Kat

I've only been to one location and it's a family practice and weight loss center.

So, a doctor would contract to become a Fill Center? Is that how that works?

I had the impression that it would be a Fill Center...kinda like a chain. I read one poster a while back hating fillcenters and warned against them....but yet I've found there is no such thing.... that they are individual doctors ...not a chain.

So, where do I want fill centers - everywhere! Get as many doctors and clinics on board to assist those that are banded as we live in a mobile society...not many stay in one place anymore.

I apologize for the negative experiences with other fill doctors. We, Fill Centers USA, are the posters of this poll. We are a nationwide network of aftercare providers. We are a company called Fill Centers USA. The center in Arlington is not affiliated with us. Fill center can be a rather generic term for any aftercare facility, but our specific company name is called, Fill Centers USA. Unless the location is expressly listed on our website, then they are not a provider in our network. Please refer to our website for accurate information in regards to our network of aftercare provider locations. We would always be happy to assist you via telephone, as well. 866-345-5872 ext 3 for our Patient Relations Department.

Would like to see one in Boise Idaho. A fill center is in Pocatello from what I head, that is a 3 hour drive if not more. Or am I missing something and there is a fill Dr. here that will take people who had lap bands from Mexican surgeons? Fill me in..............

We are currently in the process of opening a Fill Centers USA aftercare facility in Boise, ID. We do recognize that there is a great demand for aftercare in that area, therefore, we are making it a priority to establish a good quality center up there. If you would like to contact our Patient Relations Department, they can discuss our services further with you, as well as put you on the contact list for when our Boise, ID location does become available. Our toll free number is 866-345-5872 ext. 3.

It Would Be Great To See A Fill Center In Iowa! Alot Of Doctor's Here Won't Take Patients If They Had Surgery By A Different Doctor. So It Seems Like Going Back To Mexico Is The Only Way To Get A Fill For A Resonable Price. I'm Not Willing To Pay $1138.00 For A Fill Here When I Can Travel Back To Mexico For $600 That's Including Airfare.
