Whenever possible it is always best to have your fills done by the physician who performed your surgery. If you can not go back to your surgeon we suggest you look for a doctor at www.lapband.com. If the doctor accepts out-of state patients there will be a logo that looks like a map next to their name which means that they accept traveling patients. You can also call a radiology center in your area, there may be a radiologist who can perform fills.
Your band is important and a huge investment so you want to be sure that anyone accessing your port only uses the recommended Huber needle.
Fill Centers USA is a network of medical professionals designed for patients who have traveled to another state for surgery. Every location within their network will take patients who cannot feasibly return to their original surgeon for follow-up care and band fills. With over 25 locations nationwide, it is easy to find aftercare services in your area.
