Hello!~ Im getting my band on the 29th of April. I dont think I will be able to go back to OCC for my fills. I was hoping that someone in my area had good info in affordable fills. Thanks :-h

Hi Nebs Mom :-h

I am also from Portland. My band is scheduled for May 23rd..I will probably go back to TJ for my first fill, but I'm looking at the Fill Centers. I like the idea of using flouro.

There is a nurse practitoner in the Seattle area that several people have recommended. Here is there website:

HI guys, I live in Portland and I was banded 3/24 by Dr. Ortiz. I am going back to TJ for my first fill but will be staying local after that. Kelly fitzpatrick doesn't use Fluro. I have heard very good things about her from 2 other local bandsters who have had fills from her. Fill Center USA in Salem also does NOT use Fluro, I called their main cust serv line and they told me that both the Oregon & Washington one's do not use Fluro.

I called OHSU and was laughed at and told and I would have to be "referred" and then "apply" to be filled by their center... um.. nope.

There is a fill center in Olympia http://www.pacsurgical.com/ the cost is $375 for a fill and that includes Fluro.

There is also the http://www.northwestfills.com/ they charge $150 without fluro or $200 with. They only do Fluro in their Arlington location which is a looong drive from PDX.

I hope that helps. If you have any other questions or if you find out about someone i haven't mentioned please let me know!
