I've posted my tread under band complication, but I think this should have been the link. Please read it. I'm in big trouble, I've started to do my own fills and defills.

Band-aided,

I am so sorry you are struggling but please draw the line and don't do this again. It is not healthy what you are doing. Trust me... I totally get why you do this fill and unfill yourself. At the moment I would give anything for an unfill as I am in terrible pain from acid reflux. But this just isn't the way the band is supposed to work. Please go talk to a counselor and make a vow to yourself not to do anymore filling or unfilling. I'm just sure that this is bad for your health!

Well, Its OK, but you better look at this point of view http://sourceradix.com/m/tnn.html

how can one do their own fill or unfill? isnt that dangerous?

Wasn't able to view the link

Just wanted to note that this post was made back in Feb 2009

yes, i know

was searching through the forum postings and come on this

found it interesting...and never heard of anyone doing this

Hey I feel let down! How did this person do their own fills? We're they in healthcare?

I'm a family practice PA and have no doubt I could have done my own....but that would have been stupid.....
