Hi everyone,

I was banded with the mid band in April 2002 and have had just a terrible experience. I did lose 50 pounds by December of that year but then had so much trouble with reflux that I had the Fluid removed. Since then I've played around with different fill levels but have managed to overcome my band almost entirely (although it does act up on me now and then still!). I've recently moved to Portland, Oregon and am now ready to deal with the band and get it working again! If anyone has suggestions about fill doctors and/or local support groups I'd be grateful for the information!

Many thanks,

Sarah
