Hey guys. I need a doc in Houston (not College Station) to do an unfill. Had my surgery in Mexico. So far the docs I researched either won't take you at all if they didn't do the surgery or they want five hundred friggin' bucks. I need someone reasonably priced. Having trouble and need an unfill soon, preferably tomorrow. Suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks so so much. The first doc on your list isn't too far. I'll be at his office waiting for him when he opens in the morning to pressure him into unfilling me immediately.

So, I went to the first doc on the list and ... well ... see my other post: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f78/pain-above-pouch-when-eat-drink-35415/

Absolutely not going back there.

Both doctors Spivak and Spiegel have refused to take me because they didn't perform the surgery. An assistant in Dr. Spiegel's office just told me to go back to College Station, but the fill doc in College Station is just too far. I have too small children and for a 4-hour round trip on a Saturday - the only day she does fills - its just too hard.

From the other ones on the above list, can I get a good recommendation from someone who has been to the doc? I think I need someone with the x-ray, fluoroscope equipment.

<p>I know it is a ways to drive, but I live in Huntsville, TX and I drive to Ferris (just past Ennis) straight north on I-45 to see Dr. Fred Maese for my fills. I was also banded in Mexico. He is great! I would be happy to give you his contact info if you are interested.</p>

I have been to Dr. Marvin once before. He is okay, but he doesn't have a flouroscopic x-ray machine. Once again, I forgot to tell you that Dr. Maese has a flouro machine and he always takes an x-ray after he fills you. Why don't I just give you his number? 972-842-3911

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
