I had my surgery in 2008 I have stayed stable at 157l lbs from the 225 that I weighed before at 5' 1" I was huge. Now I my medical insurance does not cover any WLS issues even though I paid for my surgery in another state. I am in need of a doctor to unfill me because I can barely eat anything healthy now and I feel horrible. I used to go to the Fill Centers in Clearwater although I live on East Coast but I understand they closed now. I need a doctor that isn't going to charge me arm and leg to unfill me. Please help!

:cursing:I am desperately looking for someone open on Saturdays or late night near Central Florida. I need to get filled since I had a unfill at St. Petersburg Fill Center 6 weeks ago due to irritation. I started a new job and can't take time off work to drive the 3 hours to St. Pete! Please let me know if anyone knows one that works late or Saturdays.

Is this open yet??

Anyone know of a good fill doctor in this area? I really do not want to drive to the Fill Center in Tampa. That is way too far? I had my surgery in Harrisburg, PA on 12/13/2007.

I am now down to 182 lbs!!! I feel great. Ready for another fill but I am now living in Florida! Will call Weight Loss Center tomorrow to schedule an appointment to go to PA and get the fill and check in with the doctors. I was supposed to go last month. Now I feel I am ready for another one. I am so happy I made this decision!

I got on the scale yesterday and I am down to 194. I have begun to lose again now that I am tracking. I am consuming about 1000 calories a day sometimes a bit more. I get my second fill on March 21st but right now I feel I am restricted well. Thanks everyone for the motivation. It helped!

I started the log on fitday today. I will start monitoring. I get my second fill in March. My doctor wants me to consume at least 900 calories a day. I will keep the log for a few weeks. I may have to go for another fill sooner than March. Thanks everyone for your replies. I never thought that maybe I was consuming too few calories. That may be it.

I had surgery on 12/13/2007 and started at 213 and am now at 197 for about 4 weeks. My first fill was on 1/24/2008 and next fill not scheduled until 3/21/2008. I have not lost anything since the first fill. I feel like I am not hardly eating and do not drink liquids with my meals nor do I snack. I only eat 3 small lo carb meals a day and nothing is coming off!!! My ideal weight would be 135 therefore I think this maybe normal. I had a easy recovery with no problems so I can't complain. Do I have to get a few more fills before I will see some more weight loss??? this is kind of depressing since I was self pay and am faithfully going to Curves three times a week. What suggestions can someone give me to make me get psyched again?
