I live in extreme North East Texas. There are two LapBand surgeons, Drs. Ron Hekier, and Rachel Kaelin, in North East Texas, in the city in which I live, who do their own fills as well. My surgeon is Dr. Hekier, and I am quite pleased to say that he has had no trouble whatsoever in accessing my port, and even though he gives a warning that "there's going to be a big stick'", I've felt no pain--just a very slight stick. Everyone, of course is different in the way they handle their "fill sticks", as well as their LapBand aftercare, but Drs. Hekier and Kaelin are great. Also, Dr. Hekier's nurse did an "unfill" for me the other day, after my second fill, because it was too tight. She did a great job as well.
