Hello, I had a similar thing happen after my surgery. The next morning, I passed out on my way to the bathroom. It was very temporary for me - just a problem with getting up and keeping my blood pressure up for a moment apparently. Anything serious should be investigated and passing out can be a sign of very serious things. My thoughts are with you and your wife. I hope things are well. N

Hello All, I've just moved to Austin, Texas. Went to Scott & White and was told because I had my band done in Mexico, they will not fill. Have called several people. Does anyone know anyone from Houstin to Amarillo that will do a fill. I would have thought that Texas was big enough to have several fill doctors that are open to being helpful. I am desperate and starting to gain because I am so open. My band is either open or closed - I don't have much flexibility and need to be near the fill doctor the day after the fill. I'm willing to travel. Any help? Thank you. I was doing so well and lost 96 pounds. Its amazing how quickly it can come back. I thank you all for any help you can provide. N

Thanks to those of you that replied. There was some add'l info that some asked. My doctor in Mexico was murdered so it seems that it would be better to find someone closer. It is the Inamed (sp??) band and my doctor had trained many US docs. Thank you for the suggestion about the Fill Center - I had never heard of this. To the person that stated that doctors don't want to take on patients that aren't their own - it really is a very common practice in everything but this bariatric procedure. But if they won't, they won't - its just disappointing - people move around all the time. Once again - thank you. N
