Christy26 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I am probably going to have to switch to Fill Centers USA, in Roswell GA for my first fill.... question though - has anyone used them in GA? How aggressive are they with their fills? THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazn Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Darlene is great!!!!!! I have had two fills. My first fill was 3cc in 4cc band (yes, that is a large first fill but it worked for me!) and my second fill was .6cc because I only had 2.4cc of my original fill left - so that took me back to 3cc. I have had great results and I love my band!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I will ask for Darlene since she did such a good job with your fills... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaBen Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I also use the Fill Center in Roswell. Darlene is great! I got 2.4 cc's my first fill and 1 cc my second fill. She's the only nurse there and her son does the fluoro. I didn't feel any pain with her, just a little uncomfort. Definitely use them, they are great!

Willi333 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hi Christy, Speaking for both, my husband and I, we think Darlene (NP) is absolutely great !!! Her daughter is up front, her son does the check up on BP, weightloss, general questions etc. and Darlene is doing the fills always under fluoroscopy. My hubby has the VG band which holds 10cc (surgery was October 13, 2008) and had two fills so far. First one was 4.2cc and second one was 3.6cc. I had 3 fills since May'08 (see below). Keep us posted !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazn Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Blazn,Thanks! you have done a great job - I hope I am that lucky! Do I get to ask for any specific Dr? If so, I will ask for Darlene since she did such a good job with your fills... No, there are no physicians there but Darlene is a nurse practitioner and highly qualified. She has been doing this for several years and has been trained by Fill centers USA who was trained by the OCC - I think that's right. And thanks, I am sure you will do great!! Blazn,Great job on your weight loss. Do they use flouroscopy for the fills? Is hard to get in for an appointment? Sharon Not usually but Darlene did just get a full time job as a NP in her home town in Moultrie so I do think it is harder than it was a couple of months ago. I think she is only going to Roswell once - maybe twice a month. Just call Fill Centers and they can give you her schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
