  1. Both places in Ouachita parish have been out of commission for band fills for almost 3 months now. I was banded in Dallas by Dr. Cribbins in November 2008. Had lost 90 lbs, have now gained 20 back because I can't find anywhere to get a fill. I am willing to travel if necessary. I have called several places outside of Ouachita parish but have not had any luck either they 1. won't return my phone call or 2. only do fills for a certain doctor. Anyone have any advice, suggestions, phone number for a fill Dr.?
  2. This is a question about life's other stresses (boyfriend now ex-boyfriend, teenage daughter, bilIs) I got a fill about a month ago and for a week or so everything was groovy. New fill wasn't too tight, I was eating smaller portions again. Life was great. Then the boyfriend broke up with me and it really upset me and now nothing wants to stay down. Liquids bounce, hot liquids, cold liquids, room temperature liquids. Everything bounces. Solid food is completely out of the question but I can usually sneak in a few bites of yogurt a day. Anybody else's band have the trampoline effect from stress? What did you do and how do you deal with it?

    Hiccups

    I get the hiccups after I've eaten too much also. I'm almost 3 years out and am still not a master of listening to my body. So sometimes it has to shout at me by giving me the hiccups. They're not usually painful just annoying as all get out. Now the after surgery gas was absolutely horrible in my left shoulder for close to 3 weeks. But it went away eventually, gas-x strips helped tremendously.

    Lap Band and personal stress

    Thanks Jonna and AliciaB. I've been banded for almost 3 years now and am generally a laid back kinda gal, but I've had a very stressful summer and then to have my heart crushed just kinda sent my stress into overdrive I reckon. I keep telling myself that everything will be fine. It's just a boy. (he's36, I'm 37). Hopefully my head will listen soon.

    I need a fill in North Louisiana

    Thanks everyone for your help. I was able to get in touch with the Fill Centers location in El Dorado and finally got my much needed fill. The location in El Dorado was wonderful. Everyone was very nice and very professional. Hopefully by the time I need another fill, the locations here in Monroe/West Monroe will be back up and running, but if not I would gladly drive the hour to El Dorado to do business with them again. Again thanks everyone for your help.
  6. Been waiting for a call back from Fill Centers for the El Dorado Clinic for 2 days now .... Hope you have better luck.
  7. This number is now connected to a family practice clinic that does not do fills. I just called to schedule an appointment...
