Are there any bandsters or fill doctors in Alaska?

Hi there. I live in Alaska...and am trying to find someplace that will take an xray to make sure I did not slip at all. I was told of a doc in Anchorage, Dr. Cable, that does fills. but I have lost his info and am trying to look for it!

I live in Anchorage, ALASKA. I am 11 months out and have a wonderful fill doctor here. I had surgery in Mexico and most of the Docs here won't touch you. However, I have the best fill Dr. Dr. Leland Jones of Medical Park Family Care will do lap band patients and doesnt care where you had your surgery. He charges $195 which is the cheapest I have found. He doesnt use fluro but if you need xrays or whatever he will set you up. His phone number is (907) 279-8486, His office is on corner of Lake Otis and Northern Lights. Never takes long to get in to see him. I can call one day and get in the next to see him. He is not conservative with fills as long as you arn't having problems. I have a 9cc band with 6.8cc's in it now. Email me if you need more information.

My mother is going to be thrilled to see there are others in Anchorage that have done it and to have people in her area to talk to about this...

I had my band done 9/1/05 in Mexico. I live in ALaska and see Dr Cable at HEalth South. He is awesome. It is really expensive they just raised their prices up to 638.00... I have spent more money maintaining my band then I did on the surgery. I have esophagitis issues so I have to open and close my band a lot.

I went to see Dr Leland Jones and he is great. My band was a little to tight went back the next day to have it readjusted and he said if you are still uncomfortable you come back and have it adjusted again. Don't feel bad coming back again. I thought that was great. I will be going back to him. The cost is $225 for the adjustment. Lowest price I have found in Anchorage!

It is nice to see some alaskans with bands doing well. I got mine in 9/05 and need to see a local fill doctor. It sounds like Medial Park and Dr. Cable are the best options. Anyone know of anyone else. Thank you.
