I'm familiar with the area since I'm from Stockton. How about dr Woodbury in Santa Rosa or docs in Chico?

When you need the lap band fills it does not depend of the time it depends of how much weight you loose and usually you are foing to loose 6 to 12 pounds a month but some months you will loose weight and others only reduce the sizes in case that you have two months and you don't see any difference in your body is when you need the fill.

How about stay the same up and down for two mths then gaining the next two mths like 10lbs and I feel the diff I'm watching wat I eat also
