Hi , Frist a small vent I am new here I am looking into getting a lap band ,I have called 3 offices and am already ticked off ,one was sooo rude the other two could could care less and all about the paperwork I keep being told to watch there videos and crap but I can get in though here heads that I am half blind and there stuff will not work for me and I can not pay a $150 cab ride to go to a live one . Ok so my last call was a doctor bolverd and he and there staff where grate they mabe me an apt. With no hoop jumping and helped with the paperwork and told me all about the lap band .

    They Want To Remove My Band. I Say Nooooo!

    Hi , I am new and do not have a band yet but From what I read you need an unfill right ? First let me say You gp should be able to do an unfill for you it is just a port !! I have an s/p and in my case the ers are useless I just learned to fill an unfill my foleys bollons and put them in and out I have also done my own piccs and iv meds, and s/p tube removals me self and I am half blind so . You are dealing with a port ( this is like a picc in a way look it up on you tube ) Call the doctor that put it is and find out what size and kind the needles to get ( ports take a curved type I thnk ) then ask you doc . For an rx for then they also should be able to tell you how to do an unfill .
