Teresa, They said that they had new rates. It includes a exam or follow up. She also said that they have been just swamped. She said they are getting new people all the time. She said sometimes he does the flouro just depends. It was a very nice girl that I spoke to. I am so ready, I need a fill. My appetite has increased and I want to get a handle on it now. It still seems very reasonable to me. Thanks again, Kathy:)

Yipee I finally have a appt. for my first fill. Dr. Eubanks in Portland, OR. The next day they had available is my birthday, I said oh what the heck sounds good to me. I am very excited yet a little nervous. I don't know if I should take someone with me or go it alone. I still have no records from Dr. Lopez, I have gave up on that. I hope they don't need them. Very reasonable prices first visit is 256.00 and any other fills after is 150.00. I am very glad to finally be seeing a Doctor haven't seen one since my surgery. Just hope everything is where it is suppose to be. Thanks again Teresa for all your help. Kathy Dr. Lopez May 21st 2004 -41

Happy Birthday girl, Hope it was fantastic. Congrats on your license too!! May this year be a great one. Kathy

I don't know how but I finally got a hold of the right office. I have a appt. for my first fill on my birthday yipee. Oct 25th. This is the number I have 503-353-3005 they are going to send me directions on how to get there. Some how yesterday I got the other number mixed up and called the other Dr. Eubanks. The girl said she was just getting ready to return my call. She was very nice, I am a little nervous but very ready for a fill. The first visit is 256.00 and all the fills after that 150.00. Thanks so much for your help Teresa, I am just a little spacey these days. My job is very high stress and it gets me a little crazy now and then. Kathy

I have phoned Dr. Eubanks office numerous times and left my name and number and no one will return my calls. I told them that I was banded in Mexico, could this be why???? Kathy

Good job Lisa, you go girl. Kathy

Thanks Teresa, I will let you know how it goes. I am going to call this Friday and set up a appointment. Thanks so much for your help. Kathy:)

Anyone know if the Doc that does fills in Portland Oregon is Shawn Eubanks? Teresa I know that you had mentioned a Eubanks but not sure if I have the right one. Please let me know. Thanks Kathy

Your looking good, hope you had a great bday. I am just a little behind in my posting. Kathy

Hey everyone, I haven't posted in a while been real busy as usual. I did finally get some new photo's of Nevaeh. They are coming for a visit this weekend, I can't wait. How is everyone doing? It has now been almost 3 months since my banding. I am down 41 pounds, I still haven't had a fill, and it is time. I haven't had any problems a few episodes of pb'ing and that is about it. It is time to get serious. We have just been so busy with all the nice weather that we have had here in WA. Lots of camping and working around the house and my job. I need to make more time to come here and visit I have missed reading all the post. Never heard back from Dr. Lopez office still have no records. I hope I don't need them when I go for a fill. Glad to be back, hope you all enjoy my new pictures. Kathy Dr. Lopez May 19 -41

Delara keeping her mouth shut no way. Hey everyone haven't posted in awhile but I see this is still the place to get the info one might need. Like Delarla says we all need to hear the good, bad and ugly. That's why we keep coming back. Everyone's .02 is worth hearing.

That is just what I needed to hear. Thanks Donali and Neicy. I wasn't sure if I should get a fill, I just thought since the scale had slowed down that it must be time. Since I am 2 months out I didn't think that I could possibly be a lucky one and have restriction with out a fill. I guess I just needed to hear it from you guys. I am very excited over my weightloss and my health is improving everyday. I love this band and you guys. I can always come here and find the answers that I need. Thanks so much, Kathy

I don't know if I need a fill or not. I have been stuck at this weight for a couple of weeks. Sometimes when I eat I feel like it gets stuck, only after a few bites, I could puke if I would let myself. This is usually the first meal of the day. So I quit eating go for a walk and it feels better. Then I don't finish my meal. I can't say that I have truly felt much hunger since my banding. I know that I am eating way less than I did before surgery. But the scale seems to be stuck. I am down 36 sometimes 37 pounds in 8 weeks. I am just afraid if I get a fill that I will have that stuck feeling more often. Also gas, I always have it. When I drink lots of Water it seems to be worse. Any advise? Thanks Kathy Banded May 21st 2004 285/249-250
