Hello. About 3 months ago I had my lapband put in by a Dr. in Michigan and he did one fill. Recently I've moved to south Florida and I'm in desperate need to find a fill doctor in Florida. I didn't think it would be hard but all of the FL doctors that I found thru realizeband.com did not take any followup patients. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A DOCTOR IN FLORIDA THAT COULD HELP ME?? I'm willing travel a few hours if needed. Let me know. thanks for your help. :party:

WOW! Thanks WasAbubbleButt. I apreciate your assistance.

It's been 10 days since my surgery. I'm supposed to be on mushies but I can still eat like a moose! I know some say you won't feel any restrictions until a fill but good golly.... I have NO restrictions. I've been eating everything in site. It's like I never had the surgery. This is not good. I lost 5 pounds my first week but I bet I gained it back the last two days. Has anyone gone thru the same thing???? :thumbup:

thanks for all your advice. I need to be more disciplined.:tongue:

Thanks Jack. I'll start working on that action plan.

:angry:Don't waste your time being patient with this bonehead doctor. Don't go back there! There's got to be another bariactric specialist somewhere near you. Maybe your regular doctor can help you find one. I hope you get some good results soon. Keep us posted.

MaYa314 You sounds as excited as I feel. I'm scheduled for surgery 02/29. Can't wait! You know.... I've read alot about people on Pre-Op diets but my doctor doesn't make his patients do a pre-op diet. Just clear liquids 1 day before surgery. I guess I got lucky. :smile2:

Sounds like your gallbladder. Please let us know. I'm crossin my fingers and hoping all is well.

Wow. I just read your notes on posting your worst experience with the lapband. WE ARE SO ALIKE. I couldn't have written it better. This is what I'm worried about. All my life I have punished myself and celebrated with food and I'm afraid how it's going to affect me after I get the surgery. My Doctor has recommended I not get the band because I want to have another baby. I noticed you gave birth after the band. Did you have any issues(malnutrition) with your pregnancy? Any advice would be very helpful.

Late, so if you could do it all over again, would you?
