Hi, I have a problem I have not seen before and really need some support. I went to TJ Mexico last June ( 2005) and was banded. I lost 50 pounds really fast. I lost my job soon after and have not had the money to get a fill. I just as quickly gained back the 50lbs +. I am really disgusted with myself. i have finally gotten a new job, but it pays a lot less than my old one. I am trying to find a fill doctor in the Memphis, TN that I can afford. I could really use some advice and support. Thanks Joan:help:

Don't get disgusted with yourself! You can get back on track with a little extra work. You've had a lot of stressful stuff happen lately but don't let it ruin your hardwork. As far as finding a fill doctor, I'd suggest looking in the Tennessee thread: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=63 Good luck!

Joan, don't be too hard on yourself. Without restriction, the band does nothing for you. Once you find a fill doctor, then restriction, you're back in business! Sorry about the rough year.

Good luck. Shawn
