Does anyone know a fill doctor in PA?
I am planning on going to the OCC for my first fill - but after that - i will most likely be looking in PA
Thanks
I live in Buffalo, New York and had to go to Detroit Michigan for a fill. If you find anything closer let me know.

I had my surgery on 2/1/08 and have had issues getting fills. Between the cost of gas to the nearest location (6 hours away) and the price of the fill and a hotel, it really gets expensive. What i did and i thought i would share with all is this. I wrote to all of the bariatric surgeons in my area and sent them all of the medical information that was given to me by Dr. Ortiz. I explained my situation and asked only if they would see me for a consultation - not a fill. I got my doctor in Buffalo, NY to see me and he actually performs lap band surgeries at Buffalo General Hospital. After he saw me and realized that my port was easy to fill, he accepted me as his patient and i am now getting fills in my same hometown. For all those that have this problem, give this idea some thought.
