Might be a little late but I know that Fill Centers USA has fill Docs all over the US. Not sure about yuour location but I was told if you live where they dont have one that if you call and request they will try and put one in your area. Worth a try, sounds like quite a few of you are needing one. I'm not from Texas but I use them in my state and like them alot.. the number is 866 345 5872

My stepmother used a lady doctor in Pittsburg and she seemed to like her. I don't know how much she paid for going.

My name is Dr. Gerald Garwood. I have been located in College Station, Texas but have moved to Lufkin, Texas over the past few years and I just wanted to let all former and future patients know that I am still doing lap band fills, mostly in Lufkin, Texas. If you are interested or have any questions on pricing or anything in general my personal cell phone number is (979)575-7740 or you can give me a call at Urgent Doc in Lufkin where I work as a urgent care provider (936) 634-3627.

Also you can check out my website for basic information http://www.ggarwoodmd.com/contact.html

To schedule fill/appointment please call (979)575-7740 to speak directly to me.

Thank you

Also I do foreign fills, I know some Drs. are not comfortable doing fills on bands that were put on in Mexico and other foreign countries but I will do these fills to save you a trip back to Mexico or wherever you had it done.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
