Does anybody know of a Lap-band doctor that is willing to do Fills for patients other than their own, who also use a floroscope??

Dr. Terry Simpson does take people who had surgeries else where.  I'm not sure of the costs but you can call them for more information.  They're in Phoenix.

I looked into that but it will be $550 because I will have to pay for the seminars.

Holy cow that's expensive.  What do you mean seminars?  It's frustrating for sure sorry to hear that your having problems.  I know that they have those fill americas or something like that around but they too are almost 500 or so.  Good luck. Renee'

I guess he wants all of his patients to be educated about the band, so even to get a fill you have to enroll in these classes.

I must say I have become a member of Fill Center USA, my fill was done at Vorth Valley Plastic Surgery Center.  Initial signup cost was $349 and I will then be able to go to any approved Fill Center USA place in the US for $165 a fill.  That is $100 cheaper then my Surgery Center.  She did not use Floro, but I didn't feel like she needed it.  Good Luck!
