Where do you currently go to get filled? Where was your surgery? Can you not ask him to be a lil more ambitious in the fills?

I was banded in Mexico and have yet to get a fill there for fear of safety. I now live in Seattle, and have found a doctor here, had one fill.

Not sure if my band doctor does fills for non-patients. His name is Pedro Kuri. :)

Dr's fill the band slowly so you don't suddenly experience delayed, too-tight restriciton. If you go to another country for fills, keep in mind your original US dr may refuse to touch you after, and it's not like you can hide how much Fluid is in the band.

I live in San Diego, about 20 minutes from TJ.

I drove this last time. But most of the time I park at the border and walk across and take a taxi to Applebees. The the doctor is right behind the Applebees (has a big sign out front that says Dr. Mendez)

This sounds like a fun trip! Too bad I live in SC. :( I like the idea of Parkin at the border and walking to Applebees. And I would walk for a 4.5 cc fill if empty. What a dream come true. Y'all should meet and go together!

Im pretty sure they will take you, dont know why they wouldnt. But Google them and call just to make sure.

Also, I loved how easy it was. They fill your port under x-ray so its really easy to find the port.

The fill took less than 10 minutes, I was there a total of 30 minutes cuz the doctor likes to talk.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
