Hi Everyone, I too am very discouraged. I had the lap band and the plication surgery Febr. 5th , and my first fill March 13th, both in 2014. The reason for so long in between surgery and fill is because I had the surgery in Mexico, live in Mn. and can't find a Dr. here that will fill for me. I have only lost a total of 13 pounds. I went to Texas to visit my children and found a surgeon that gave me my 1st fill on March 13th. I don't feel any restriction. If anyone from Mn.is reading this that knows where I can get fills, please share with me. I was down 16 # and now down 13!. Thank you, Granny
