City: Porter State: Texas | Absolutely, they shouldn't just guess at it, besides you need a flouro to make sure you didn't get filled too much because sometimes they have to
take some back out if you don't swallow the chalky stuff down very gook. |

State: AZ | Wow. That is some good information about adjustments. I think that if everyone were to take that information to heart, it would be much easier to take off the pounds. Thanks for posting that information Penni!

City: Cincinnati State: OH | How much do fills cost?
Rhonda,
My Dr charges $119/fill. I guess you could call the office and they will tell you upfront.
Best of luck!

City: Maryville State: TN | Getting a fill in Nashville
I want to thank whomever it was who told all of us here in TN about a dr named Houston. I have just scheduled an appt. with them. They are charging an upfront fee, but it isn't like Dr Ray here in Maryville where I live. I am very angry about the fact that they want 1500. yes, 1500. upfront before they will even see you! That is like going to a dentist with a filling that fell out and having the dentist say, well, I didn't fill it so I will need 1500 upfront then another 500 to fix it! Again, thank you to the person who recommended Dr. Houston

The dr. I go to in College Station, Texas charges $200 and that's with a
flouroscope and she has had the procedure too, so I trust her!

City: Long Island State: NY | I don't feel any of my fills
I was banded in May 2006 and have had 3 or 4 fills and I still don't feel them. Now more than 6 months later I have gained weight instead of lost it. I think that it is almost time to remove this forgeing boby from my stomach and pray to for help I need to lose weight because this certainly was no help to me.
Sincerely,
Donna  :cry
p.s. I don't know how to adjust that little ticker tape thing it is wrong.

| DonnaGT: I just read your post and it worries me. I am sorry it hasn't worked out for you and I'm worried that I will have a similar result. I don't feel any restriction after 2 fills. I had very little restriction after the swelling from surgery. Then I had my first fill and felt a tiny bit of restriction at first. Not long after that I felt none so I got a second fill. After that I have been hungry and have felt no restriction at all. I'm scheduled for a 3rd fill tomorrow. I am really worried that this "tool" just isn't going to be the tool I need to get the job done.
I realize that we have to work at this and that we really have to concentrate on eating correctly in order to lose weight. But without the band I would have to do the same thing. So why get the band if it isn't going to help with my resolve and with hunger?
I hope things get better for both of us. I was incredibly excited when I began to lose weight after surgery. I will be incredibly disappointed if I can't get it to work for me and lose all the weight I need to get rid of.
Good luck to you! | |

City: Long Island State: NY | SO Sad
BJean,
I appreciate you taking your time to let me know I am not alone here. I lost 28lbs and then gained it all back and more. SO I am really feeling blue about this surgery. I agree with everything you said and I would never reccomend it to anyone. If I could diet before I wouldn't have need this surgery.
SO sorry you are having the same problems.
Good Luck with your next fill.
Donna
