I'm looking for a doctor who will do fill/unfills on patients who had a lapband put in in another state. Any leads on doctors, locations, and prices would be so very helpful! Thanks in advance

Same thing happened to me. Take some GasX and walk around howevre much you can. It will help tons feel better.

Had mine done 6/15 last year. Down 50lbs and then kind of stalled but definitely maintained. 40 - 50 more lbs to go. I think I need a fill but am self pay. What are the contact info of your dr's? How is everyone?

Thanks for the info! I'll definitely look into them.

Hey everyone. I'm a longtime lurker and finally posting for the first time. I was banded 6/15 of last year. I usedto be able to literally only eat 4 or 5 bites of anything. In the last month or so, however, I've noticed that at the start of any meal I take a bite and immediately feel "stuck." If I wait till it passes (or if it is severe enough and it "comes back out") I find that I can then comfortably eat (almost) whatever I want in wht seems any portion I want, especially if I eat slowly enough. [Example: I used to only be able to each 1/4 to 1/2 of a homemade grilled chicken sandwich, but now, assuming the above happens, I do not feel full and can end up eating a whole sandwich if I don't watch it.] Does this happen to anyone else? What's going on with me? Unfortunately, I am self-pay and my yearof "support" from the doctor/staff has expired. I only hve crappy student insurance and I won't pay for a visit to the doctor for these questions or for a fill. Any thoughts would be really welcomed. Thanks so much.

Any recommendations on where/who to go to for fills in or around Peoria, IL? I am self-pay and was banded in CA a year ago.

Typo: insurance won't pay for docto visits of this nature or for fills.
