Hi, my md in Houston retired last year. Now I dont have a md to handle my case. I am pretty much as full as I can get. I have lost 80 lbs in 18 months. I am tired of not being able to eat any meat. I am hungry and want some real food besides soup. Where can I get my band drained in the Houston area? I have my records.

Your doctor didn't refer you to another clinic that does lapband? You might want to check the internet for some one. I'm sure Houston has several physicians. If you're coming to SA anytime soon, I can refer you to mine. He's awesome.

True Results has a clinic in Houston, their website is:

Hopefully another member can refer you to some one in the Houston area. Look under the 'mentors' forum, you might find some one there.

I am sure you just need a slight unfill but that is your chose anyway I am sure Fillcenterusa has a center in Houston 866-345-5872.Great job on your weight loss and good luck

If you are so restricted that you can only have soup, then according to my doc, your band is too tight! I was told the goal is to be able to eat just about ANYTHING but in much much smaller proportions. There are many great surgeons in Houston; perhaps a visit to the "Doctors and Hospitals" forum can steer you to one.

Please reconsider a complete unfill; statistically people who do that gain it all back. You worked hard to get where you are today....just go a little farther and work with a new surgeon to get you to the good spot where you can eat most anything but don't gain.

As another poster said, it is your choice of course. Either way, that forum I mentioned may have some names for you. Good luck!

Call Dr. Garth Davis, he is in the Medical center. He should be able to help you. He did my band and I am very impressed with what he has done for me. 713-528-0597

You should not be so tight that you can only have soup. No wonder your ready for a complete unfill. I have heard good things about Dr. Garth Davis. You might want to try him.

Congrats on your weight loss.
