Dr. Speigal charges 250.00 for fills.

Thank you so much. I will call them today.

I haven't had a fill in awhile but I used to use Fill Centers USA which is no longer in existance. Does anyone know of a doctor I can go for a fill in the Houston area???

I'm still waiting. I'm at 6.4 now and have had many fills. The first day or two I have good restriction and then not too much anymore. I'm very frustrated as I had thought this last fill(a few days ago) would do the trick but I am calling the doctor today for another apt.

I had the same problem a year ago. The band was fine for one and a half years but then I started getting bad reflux all the time and I tried everything for relief even a complete unfill. I moved during this time so I went to a different doctor and her told me that I had developed scar tissue where the band was. In the end I had to get a larger band(10 cc) (my original was 4 cc) and that did the trick. Now I am in the process of finding my sweet spot. I think one more tiny fill will do it.

Dossy, when you say you have to get an unfill, is it because it is too tight or you have reflux?

Thank you all for the information. I will check into these doctors.

Hello, I had my lapband surgery about 2 years ago in North Carolina. I believe my band has now slipped and I need to find a good doctor to reajust it. I have been haveing bad acid reflux and was throwing up every night for the past month. I got an unfill yesterday and had a swallow test and it showed that very little was going down. The fill doctor thinks my band has slipped. Since my unfill I have had no acid reflux at night.
