Where do you gals from Washington get fill's?

[Kelsolake]

I was wondering where you get your fills at. i have seen that some of you go back to him in T.J. I do not know that this would work for me. Is there anywhere in the Western Washington are that will do fills? Also, if I may ask, if there is fill docs in thei area, why is it you do not use them? Are they bad? Is it dangerous?

OOOooooooh I am so nervous!!!

Thanks for any replies!

Hey Kelso, I am in Tacoma. I was banded 6 months ago, and have had three fills. The first two were in Mexico, I really wanted the fluoroscopy, just to make sure the band was in the right place. But there are definitely placed in Western Washington to get fills. The two that seem to be the most popular are Dr. Neal in Olympia, who will use fluoroscopy, and it cost about $350, and a nurse practitioner in Arlington, who does not use fluoroscopy, and charges $150 for the first, $125 for other fills. They both have gotten good reviews from all of us, and will gladly do fills for Dr. Ortiz' patients.

I had two fills in Mexico because it was a little cheaper for me, my aunt paid for my flight for the first fill, as she wanted me to accompany her while she had surgery. Then the second fill, my aunt and I went together, and just got a great deal on plane tickets for the day. I really recommend getting your first fill with fluoroscopy though, as you can be sure that the band is in place, and everything is all right. My third fill I had done just a few days ago in Arlington. Quite a few of the Washington women have gone up there now. I was very impressed and satisfied. I will probably go back for any more fills.
