Try Dr. Susan Brinkley at 301-668-2800. I just scheduled a fill and she is booked now until July! Good luck.

Had my surgery in Mexico - loved the doctor. Lost ~10 lbs after surgery, then another 5 lbs after first fill (2 mls, in Mexico). Now most days I can eat too much. Not losing much any more. I've been about the same weight for a couple of months. I would like to get a further fill. I'd prefer a doctor that uses barium. I am hoping to find one within 3 hours drive - Wash DC - Richmond VA I'm willing to go further, though if I can do it in half a day. I called a few doctors in the area that do lap banding and they were saying they only do fills on their on patients. Also I am interested in a support group. I'm still addicted to food! The band helps, but I think I eat even more sugar than before! It goes down easier than a lot of other things.
