I HAVE HAD MY LAP BAND FOR MANY YEARS NOW, AND HAVE NOT HAD GREAT SUCCESS. MY BAND WAS FILLED SLOWLY OVER A SIX MONTH PERIOD. HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO KEEP IT FILLED DUE TO COMPLICATIONS. I BELIEVE MY BAND MAY NOT BE IN PLACE PROPERLY. THEREFORE, I HAVE EXTREME GASTRIC REFLUX. IT HAS BEEN SO EXCESSIVE THAT I WAS UNABLE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT AND WOULD ASPIRATE IN MY SLEEP. MY BAND WAS PLACED IN OKLAHOMA. IF ANYONE HAS A WONDERFUL SURGEON OR GASTRO IN THE TARRANT CO. AREA (WEST FORT WORTH), I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE NAME AND NUMBER. I AM VERY EAGER TO GET THIS UNDER CONTROL SO THAT I CAN HAVE FULL BENEFITS OF THIS LAP BAND. MY WEIGHT HAS SLOWLY CLIMBED TO MY PRE BAND WEIGHT. I AM SO AFRAID THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO CLIMB. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
