Although it may not be the easiest, I would suggest you go back to Mexicali if at all possible. I assume you are in New Jersey based on your email address so I also realize that trip may be a little difficult to make. I would simply get on the phone and call anywhere you can to see about a fill. I'm sure there are places around it just may take some research. What about NY? I saw some names on the database from that area....call every name listed on the database on Dr. Aceves' website. Hopefully you can find one within easy driving distance. I understand lots of people have had problems with fillcentersusa but, there are some, however, who have had good luck with them. I just don't know. I hope you find someone. Keep us posted.

, Call us aat 888 344 3916 we have a list of doctors in the US, you can also find the list on the database here onthe group. Most fill centers do not use fluoro unless it is needed and they sendyou to another place. Some patients ports are more difficult to find than others,, even though they are in the same place, it is different with everyone. There is not guarantee that they will find it, the higher the BMI ther harder to find the port, usually, not always. There are some very good fill centers, I find it odd that they would charge the full amount if they cannot do the fill, a fee I can understand becuase of their time and needle used. Call us to see where you h ave a fill doctor close by. Nina borntobeanangel <kflory@...>

Thanks for the responses. I am going to try really hard to find

somebody. I didnt realize there was a list on the database. I looked

and there are some of NJ so i called the ones that arent fillcenterusa

and hopefully they'll get back to me with good news. I split my time

between New Jersey (i'm right across from philadelphia) and also

Lancaster, PA. So if anyone goes to a doctor somewhere near either of

these places or knows of one, please let me know!

Thanks everyone!

[Guest guest]

Yeah, I about died when I saw Molly's countdown till Christmas too! Now I'm in panic mode!!! Hell, it is even too late to order off the internet! I KNEW I should have bought those few items I saw in Mexicali last weekend but I was so intimidated by not speaking any Spanish that I didn't even try! I guess it's off to the mall after school! Life WAS Great....NOW it is chaotic!!! lol Jenni Currienina eguia <nina_eguia@...> wrote:

You only think you are frustrated, we've got all of ours done for now except for one gift card from Target, which was a request from her to help her buy her maternity clothes, our 4th grandchild, but first from her.

and Please lord I pray don't let me have forgotten anyone!
