Hi, I'm 6 weeks post op and just had my second fill...total 1.5cc

I live near the NJ border about 15 minutes west of Trenton.

Lori, How close is that to Rochester, Syracuse NY area? Do you know? Is your fill doctor familiar with the AMI band? The doctor that I had set up for fills doesn't fill the AMI band.

Thanks, Barb

undefined I was banded on 9/24/04 and the doc is going to ask me on Nov. 8th if I think I need a fill. How did you know??? How will I know???

I am transitioing to the regular foods slowly right now. I eat till I think it's enough. Afraid of vomiting so I stop when I think it's enough. Haven't really been hungry but I do feel like I could eat more. Just afraid to overdo.

Any tips?

Nancy, from the amount of weight you've lost so quickly - NO fill needed yet. You need to be eating regular foods for a while before you get a fill. I waited 2 months. Some go sooner, others longer. Hagertheresa has never had a fill and has lost over 65 lbs.

Hey Guys my girlfriend is in town here from PA, we are going to TJ tomorrow for her 2nd fill but I wanted to ask you if any of you knew of any Dr's in the PA area who will do fills on Mexican patients. She has seen Dr. Bonnanni in Redding but was wondering if there were any others. She is having a difficult time finding any other Dr's who do the lap band, most of the Dr's she has found only do the bypass. If you know of any please let me know

As for filling Mexican bands I would look at Jefferson and Penn. Just a thought...they are two teaching hospitals and you may just get lucky.
