I've heard the same thing about it being 8wks between fills, as I've researched him and went to a seminar. From my understanding he is a wonderful doctor. I just can't afford the $300 fills. I'm sorry to hear that you don' t feel you are having much success with your band boobar. Did you find any other doctor that you considered before Dr.Gorospe? Another great website to visit also is obesityhelp.com. You can find people locally to talk with and there are specific forums for all different kinds of topics. Next time you go in I would definately have a heart to heart with Dr.G about your concerns with your band. If he is as wonderful as they say, I am sure he will find a solution or the reason for your difficulty. Best of luck!
