I was banded in Mexico. I am seeing a fill Dr in Charlotte NC and I am happy with him but it is a 4 hour drive for me. I would like to know if anyone knows of any Dr in South Carolina that will take on patients banded in Mexico. Thanks

ok you all, i had my surgery feb 2008. i just found out today that my band has slipped. i was completely obstructed not even a drop was going down. i had my surgery in mexico and i live in sc. the local bariatric doctor here in sc did an emergency unfill on me but he will not do my surgery to fix the band because i had my surgery in mexico. does anyone know of any doctors here in the states that will touch a banded patient from mexico? if anyone can help please.

hi i live in beaufort and would like to see if anyone else is from beaufort.

hello how are you? i live here in beautiful beaufort. i got banded in feb and loving it.

the pain is only there when i eat. should i get an unfill or will it go away? does the pain mean that my band might of slipped? i am just really concerned. thanks

I had my 2nd fill last week. i was overfilled and had to get an unfill 2 days after the fill. was feeling fine for a couple of days and now i am having pain in my right side. has anyone had this problem? also where i get my fills done is 4 hours away from my home. there is a dr here in my town that does the lapband and fills but will not see me because i went out of the country for my lapband. if i go to the emergency room does he have to see me? thanks

I went to the doctor today. I had x-rays done and everything was good. The Dr took .3cc out of my band today. What a relief I can actually swallow again. That was the most awful thing that I have ever been through an overfill.

I was banded Feb 29 2008. I have lost a total of 66 pounds including preop.

Should I have discomfort in my abdomen?

I just got a fill yesterday. This is my 2nd fill since surgery. The dr had a hard time finding my port. The 1st fill there was no problem 1.6cc. After alot of pain and 30 min, he finally got it. He put .6cc in my band. For dinner last night I had 1/2 cup of chicken broth and I was full. There was no problem with it going down. This morning I am so tight that I cannot even eat Jello but I can drink crystal light slowly. My concern is am I just swollen after the fill and it is going to go down in 48 hours or am I to full from my fill? Please give me some advice or same situations.:rolleyes2: Thanks

well i had surgery in mexico with no complications. i even drank the water and i am still alive.
