Hi I was banded 11/07 I lost 20 lbs in about 5 months I had my surgery done in Mexico. Went back got a fill in April had a fill. lost another10 lbs Went back in Aug.For a fill and got over filled. Needless to say I had alot of heart burn throwing up and all. ended up in the emergency room, 2 times the first time they just gave me medicine to stop the throwing up, they din't have a DOCTOR ON STAFF TO unfill me at the first hospital. Now it is summertime again I've unfortunatly gained back 15 of the 50 lbs I lost. My problem is since I was banded origanaly in Mexico I can't find a Dr. in the Sacramento area who will give me a fill. Does anybody know of a Dr. anywhere in the US (preferably west coast) that I chttp://www.lapbandtalk.com/images/icons/icon9.gifan call for a fill? Thanks Cindy:crying:

Fill Centers USA - Lap Band Fill - Lap Band Support - Lap Band Post Surgery - Weight Loss Surgery - Fill Center USA - LapBand Adjustments - Bariatric Surgery - LapBand Fill

They have 3 offices in California .. Cardiff, Huntington Beach and Novato. I have no idea if they are close. I've read where a few people mentioned that this is where they get their fills since they had surgery in Mexico or simply in another city. If they are not near you, they might be able to help you find somebody better located.

Good Luck

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
