Any doc's who fill mid-band

[Magic 0]

Hello all,

Do you know of any doctors of centers that would agree to fill or unfill the mid-band in the Boston area?

Thanks a lot

What do you mean by mid-band?

midband, is another type of band. The one that is used widely in the US is called the Lapband, the one I'm asking about is called the Midband, and its of a french make.

Maybe I'm wrong, but is the Midband fillable? I remember seeing a band at my doc's office...I think it was the Midband...that looked like a white rubber strap. I didn't really understand it, but it didn't look like something you could fill. I don't know how it would be adjusted, but maybe it isn't adjustable?

I'm anxious for the Midbanders to show up here!

it's apparently adjustable, but not with a fill. I still don't know?...

I also have a french mid-band. I chose it because it was wider and softer than the lap-band brand and the others I was shown. It does have a port and yes you do get fills with it. I have had it for 4.5 years and also am looking for a Dr. on the east coast who would see me as a fill patient.
