I'm desperate for a fill!



Recommended Posts

I live in Los Angeles county and I've had my band since 2008; had my surgery in Mexico. Since then I'd go back n forth to get fills. I've had pregnancies in between; I gave birth in December and I'm in need of a fill...BAD!!. It's almost impossible for me to go back to Mexico for fills now. My latest attempt just right now, I had an appointment, left with plenty of time, but just my luck, WAY TOO MUCH traffic, and I couldn't make my appointment. My question to the southern cal banders: WHERE CAN I GET A FILL FROM A LOCAL DOC THAT WILL SEE ANOTHER DR'S PATIENTS? Please help.....!

Hi there, no California connections but I just wanted to say how great it is to hear from long-term banders. We have very similar stats......

Enjoy that new baby and good luck finding the right place for fills. Bet it's easier in LA than here in New Hampshire!

Well thank you. My main reason to get WLS was to get pregnant. Now I have to get back on track with the weight loss and to hopefully get to goal. I never quite made it! I've had 3 pregnancies and 4 band babies. My last pregnancy was a surprise, I had twins.

Thank you again for the kind words. It's hard to find anyone on the same boat as I am. ????

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
