I have my first fill this week, and I want to know what to expect with Dr. Cobourn's office. Do the nurses do the fills? Is there barium involved? Is there floro? what can I expect?

Woo hoo SWLC!!! They are the best! I should book a fill soon too. When you go do not expect to see Dr. C at all. I was banded on October 16th there, and I have not seen Dr. Mumford since. The nurses are the ones you have the most contact with now. I have only dealt with Tammy and she is AMAZING... so kind and willing to take time with you and answer any and all questions. Just lay back on the table, relax and she does it. I have never had any bariums etc. only a slight needle prick while laying flat on the table. You do not even need to take your top and pants off. EASY :clap2:

I've been banded over 2 years now and in the beginning it was always Dr. C. that did the fills. Now it's Tammy or Sue that does them unless you specifically ask to see your surgeon. There is never a barium swallow or a fluoro fill unless there is a problem.

The nurses at the lapband place on HWY10 do the fills for me.
