Hi, I was banded in October 2007 also. I'm glad to read that I am not the only one that is losing very slowly. I have felt like a failure also. Now I am thinking that maybe I just need another fill. I have only had one. That was January 2nd. I was hoping it would last a little longer so I didn't have to pay that fee again. This is getting expensive! I have lost 20 pounds since October. That seemed to come off right away. I have been stuck at the same weight since November now. It is really discouraging. You all have helped me feel like hanging in there though. Thanks so much. Gail

Did ;you go see Dr. Maese? How was it? Thanks, Gail

Hi, Anyone know of the closest fill Dr. to Amarillo, TX? I contacted Dr. Crum here in town but he will not do fills on anyone that did not have the surgery done by him. I had my band placed by Dr. Rodriguez in Mexico. Any ideas? Thanks for your help. Gail:help:

Thanks Gayle. I made an appointment with Dr. Maese today. I will have to fly there but I feel much safer having him do the fill with Fluoro than the Dr. I had planned to see that does not.........AND charges the same price. Gail

Yes, I went to Acuna, Mexico in October. Dr. Jose Rodriguez put my lap band in. He was very nice and the hospital was great. I felt very comfortable there. That was Oct. 11th. I have lost 15 pounds. I am still in the healing phase so I don't feel much restriction. I plan to get a fill in December. Gail

I'm from Amarillo! I was just banded 10/11/07 in Acuna, Mexico. Have you had a fill yet? Not sure where I am going.

I had surgery in Acuna,Mexico. It was only $7500. That was 3 weeks ago and I have lost 15 pounds. I would do it again! The hospital was clean and the nurses and Dr.s were great. Gail

I was just banded in Mexico. I live in Amarillo, TX Are you still a member here?
