  1. I've been banded 5 years. I got to my goal of 150 and had some issues. My band was emptied. I'm now at 180. I left my previous doctor and have switched to Dr Reilly in Houston. I have an appt for a fill today at True Results. I'm excited and a bit nervous. Any of you use true results?
  2. I've been banded 5 years. Got to goal, got too tight, then had band emptied. I am slowly refilling it. It does good until it hits 6 cc's. At that point fills are hell. I had a fill Tuesday that brought me to 6.4 cc's. As I expected, my band is pretty irritated. This always happens for me. Post fill it can take 8 to 10 days before I can eat solid foods again. It's not that there is too much Fluid in the band, it's just that my band/stomach swells up from the actual fill. Does this happen to any of you?

    So irritated from my last fill

    I didn't get much down yesterday or today. Barely any liquids. I just left the ER. They took out the whole 1 cc I had put in Tuesday. I feel so much better! I drank 16 oz of water within 10 minutes of the unfill. I was so thirsty!

    So irritated from my last fill

    Once I hit 6 even 1/10th of a CC causes the same issue:( This time they went with 1 full cc because they want to find my green zone pretty quickly.

    Houston Texas Doctor to do fills!

    Dr Reilly in Houston will see you and then transfer you to True Results for fills. I saw him last month. Going to True Results for a fill today.

    LapBand 2years......? & problems

    Marriage counseling can help you! As for your stomach, you may want to see a GI doctor. While our surgeons know a lot about the band a GI doctor knows more about the GI tract itself. I still see a GI doctor for my IBS. Oh and ((hugs))
