I went to see Dr. Sass yesterday for my first fill. He was wonderful! I had my band done in Mexico by Dr. Aceves so going back for fills was not a possibility. I looked into FillCentrs USA but the closest person only comes to Atlanta a few times a month. I was worried what I would do if I got an overfill. I heard about Dr. Sass on here and decided to give him a call. He was very reasonable and he did not have a problem with me going to Mexico. He seemed to just want to help. I looked quite a bit on here for recomendations so I thought I would add mine after a great experience. One more note, before I left Dr. Sass gave me a big laminated card with all of his contact info, inlcuding his personal cell phone number! I could not believe it. The fill itself was easy and fairly pain free. So far so good.

Hi Guys! I am 11 weeks pregnant with suprise baby number four. I was banded literally right before I got pregnant. (I had in an IUD.) I am one of the wonderful .1% statistics. I had someone tell me I should not have the sugar test. These are friends of ours and I respect their opinions. He has a family member who is banded and they passed that on to him. I have not read that anywhere so I thought I might ask here. My OB has not had a band patient so she is no help. Has anyone heard of this? Thanks for any help.

Yes, I mean the gestational diabetes test where you have to drink the glucose drink and one hour layer they test your blood glucose level. Thanks for the help.

I am going to Mexicali on March 13th and am having surgery the 14th. I am getting nervous. I scheduled it so long ago that at that point it seemed so far away. Now my pre-op diet starts Friday! Is anyone else going to be around then?
