Yipee I finally have a appt. for my first fill. Dr. Eubanks in Portland, OR. The next day they had available is my birthday, I said oh what the heck sounds good to me. I am very excited yet a little nervous. I don't know if I should take someone with me or go it alone.

I still have no records from Dr. Lopez, I have gave up on that. I hope they don't need them.

Very reasonable prices first visit is 256.00 and any other fills after is 150.00. I am very glad to finally be seeing a Doctor haven't seen one since my surgery. Just hope everything is where it is suppose to be. Thanks again Teresa for all your help.

What a great birthday present to yourself. Hope it all goes smoothly for you

I had the same fears when I went for my first & second fill. I was so nervous that my band slipped or my port flipped but everything was just how it was supposed to be. Yours will be the same I'm sure. Don't worry

Good Luck!

I still have no records from Dr. Lopez, I have gave up on that.

Kathy: I asked for mine as well from Lopez and I finally had to call the facility where I was banded and get them myself. By the way, they are all in spanish. Not one english word anywhere so it is probably just as good that you don't have them. If he needs to talk to Lopez about something then he can do like the rest of us and take a number and hope you get through.

I am sure everything is OK with your band. I was nervous too the first time and my port was tilted but Dr. Billy got in it anyway. It is nice and flat now since Billy fixed it for me. LOL!!

Girls thanks for the encouragement I need it. My appetite has really changed in the last month so I know that I am ready. Want to get back on the losing side. I have been stuck for sometime.

Thanks again,

Kathy:)
