Oregon fills

I know this has probably been discussed many times but who does fills in Oregon and what do they charge?

I know about Dr Fitzpatrick, and I see there is a fill center USA in Salem, but does anyone know how much they charge?

Anyone else?

 

Thanks,

Laurie who is in desprate need of one!

Since you are aware of Dr. Kelly Fitzpatrick, here is the link to her website whi*****ludes a price list of her fees:

As for the fill center in Salem, call the office for the fees.

Hope this helps!

I am planning to go see Dr. T in 3-4 wks if you want to carpool??

My problem is fiting his schedule for fills around my own. He only does fills 2 days a week, and is booked up weeks in advance. I have limited babysiting days, so that narrows me down to about one day a week to choose from! I wish they did fills everyday, or did like dr Patterson and drove over once a month, heck I wish my sis would learn to do them like she keeps talking about. Anyhow, I'm trying to find an option that is closer to home.

When is your appointment? I have one scheduled for the first but we will be on vacation at the beach, I mapquested it and it will take me 9 hours to drive from Rockaway and back, not what i want to do on vacation, I think I need to reschedule again.... I needed a fill like 6 weeks ago, I should be worrying about my next one! But I got sick, the child got sick and so on....

I think I am the wrong person to ask.

Laurie...............

It is always something with you.  Does Dr. Patterson's office allow other patients?  Perhaps you could try that route.  I know I sure do like having not to drive anywhere for mine.

Hope you get it soon..............and BTW, when is coffee?

If you live in Springfield, you should go to the Oregon Bariatric Center it's in the Riverbend Pavillion. That's where I had my lapband and get fills. I don't actually know how much a fill would be but you could call them 541-335-2700

It is pretty well known, that unless your surgery was performed by a surgeon at Oregon Bariatric Center, they won't do the fills.  That may be different if you are  new to the area, but they tend to keep to themselves. They won't even allow "outsiders" to attend their support group meetings........pretty sad.   We all need to have access to support.

I didn't know that. I just assumed you could. That seems weird to me and yes that is sad.
