I have been banded since 12/29/2011 and I have lost a little over 60 pounds. I'm from the Johns Creek (Atlanta), GA area and I'm trying to find a doctor or clinic close to me that prescribes weight loss pills like phentermine or any others. Any suggestions or does anyone go any where near by? I'm not looking to take them for weight lose per sa just to give me a boost for about a month. I'm really struggling with energy.

I had my 3rd fill yesterday and I'm up to 5 cc in a 10 cc band. I think I'm too tight. Yesterday I got the fill at about 9:30am and drank the Water. I got home and was having problems keeping anything down and the heartburn is unbearable. I called my md office this morning and of course my doc is not in today. The nurse told me I could go to the hospital and they would take it out or to try and sip hot liquids with salt. I'm sipping and it seems to be staying down but I haven't tried anything else. Should I go to the md in the morning or will it get better on its own? Thanks for any advice. I'm so confused and frustrated.

I got a 2cc unfill yesterday morning and I feel great not immediately but after a couple of hours. My doctor told me liquids for 24 hours. I'm almost there. Thanks everyone for your advice and help. I go back next Wednesday for a refill.

Will I have to be on liquids or soft diet after an unfill? I'm starving and the only thing I can keep down right now is hot tea. It's so not worth it right now. I am hoping for instant relief.

Well I'm going in tomorrow morning and hopefully get just a slight unfill. I'm so miserable right now. Thanks everyone for the advice. I was really confused.

Thanks. I will. I may try some broth later and see how it goes.

That's what I was thinking. I don't want to take it out and have to wait. Did you do anything that gave you some relief in the meantime?

Thanks. I really don't want to take it out but I don't want to be miserable either. I will absolutely try the water thing next time.
