Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hi . I know that Dr. Dobson does your fills. Can you tell me a little more about him. They are very nice on the phone and I'm scheduled to have my first fill 5/29. Does he use a Huber needle? Is he conservative or aggressive with his fills? Have you had any problems with him or is there any advice you have regarding him based on your experience? You can email me privately if you wish.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hello Giner - I'm not but I also went to Dr. Dobson. They are fairly agressive with the fills. Dr. did mine and I had 2 cc's the first times due to the fact that I live over 300 miles away. They were really nice and understanding. I would take your identification card and doctor report from the surgery. Good luck. Regina > > Hi . I know that Dr. Dobson does your fills. Can you tell me a > little more about him.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Thanks Regina. Was 2cc's too much, not enough, just right? How's your weight loss going after your first fill? Do you know what kind of needle he uses? Ginger > > > > Hi . I know that Dr. Dobson does your fills. Can you tell me a > > little more about him.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Hi Ginger, Yes Dr Dobson and Dr (his partner) are very aggressive with fills (but careful!). I always get mine done with fluoro and they always double check to make sure the barium is going down before they are through with me. The receptionist, Helen, is very nice. I personally have not had any problems with either of them. But be prepared for little chit chat. The entire thing may take 5 min if that. You will go with others and sit in a waiting room and get filled one at a time in a separate room. They do ask what size band you have and if you have any fill at all. I would bring records if you have them. M Question for Mills Hi . I know that Dr. Dobson does your fills. Can you tell me a little more about him. They are very nice on the phone and I'm scheduled to have my first fill 5/29. Does he use a Huber needle? Is he conservative or aggressive with his fills?

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I'm not sure about the needle but 2cc's was almost too much. It's been a month and I'm still really tight. I have problems with a lot of foods and it's just now beginning to loosen a little. I'm not sure I would encourage such a big fill for the first one but everyone is different. My frined, Anjanette, also had 2 cc's and is doing fine. The doctor will have you swallow and see how it fills and he'll adjust it and discuss it with you. Good luck. Regina > > > > > > Hi .
