Hi, Does anyone know of any fill doctors in Washington who will fill Mexico Bandsters? I used to go to fill management and have recently found out they are no longer doing business. I just don't want to have to pay $300 for a fill. Thanks so much

Kristi I have been banded since 6/07 and went thru the same thing you are. I felt like a wasted my money but they after talking with a lot of people I realized at least I was losing. With out the band I would still be gaining. I realized to myself that it took me a life time to gain all this weight why am I in such a hurry to lose it all. I have been banded for over a year and have lost a total of 65 pds and even though I have a long way to go I feel a whole lot better even after the first few pds. What I'm getting at is your loosing not gaining and that in itself is a hug success!!!!!!!!!!! Don't be so hard on yourself, if your like me you would have probably gained that much during that time w/o the band. We all have to learn how to use it and know our limits. We have a life time of bad eating habits (at least I did) and just because we have the band our brain still wants what its always wanted. Your losing weight be happy

Thanks for the advice. I could eat just fine the last few days but now I am PB brown gross watery stuff, don't know what it is but I will get some taken out. I am so sore and swollen I guess.

I'm worried. I thought I might be to tight but some days I can eat just fine. Lately my throat and Esophagus have been very sore and irritated even when I don't eat badly or to much. I feel like I need to PB and when I do it is a gross brown watery liquid that is horrible. I haven't eaten anything all day that would warrant that color. What is going on. Has this ever happened to anyone else????????????

I just got a fill a few weeks ago and everything was fine but lately I find that my throat burns sometimes. Is it what I'm eating. I'm doing the same thing. I drank some coffee in the morning and it went down but slow and then an hour later it burned in my esophogus and throat I think I'm just irritated or something. Anyone have that burning sensation in their throat. Mabye I just need an unfill but its not always like that. Just frustrated.
