Hi, I also had a band by spiegel and in two years lost 105 lbs. Im at 290 now but I have had problems, you right they dont give you much info at the semiars except talk about them selfs. I worked up to 61/2 cc then started throwing up everything even my meds. So the Nurse all outand I got better in about a week, but it took almost 2 months befroe I could get another fill, and put back on 25 lbs so I changed doctors. I just went yesterday and he gave me 51/2 cc but I spit up this morning so he said stay on liquards till Monady then call him. I think its just being a little swollen.Also my friend had to go to Houston cause he doesnt go to local hospitals here anymore ( pt. Neches Groves area)I heard, but you might check. Anyway thats why I switched doctors, You might ask questons about if he still does work in this area if you need surgery. anyway hang in there and stay with the program cause its the best diet going right now. take care and good luck
