I'm s/p 4.5 yrs. french mid-band, Mexico. looking for a dr who will do fills on a french mid-band preferrably in VA or near VA or East Coast. I've gained 25 pounds since I had my last fill. But don't remember the amount of cc's i had from the last fill. Problem is that when I get the fill just right I have a major reflux/heart-burn, choking in the night problem. I went from a size 6 to a size 10. I sit a lot at work and make an effort to get up and walk everyday plus I try to drink enough water, but I know I need to drink more. Anyhow, I would prefer to see a dr. on my side of the world. Any reccommendations?:blushing:

I know of a few doctors in your state that do fills on people they did not operate on but I don't know of anyone that will fill a non-FDA approved band. (

Is it the Heliogast band???

If so Dr. Susan Brinkley does fills. She is located in Frederick, MD. She only does fills on Wednesday and they cost $200.00. I travel about 40 minutes to her office. She takes her time and has been banded herself in Mexico.

No it is not the Heliogast band, it is the French Mid-Band, created/used in France.

I think the heliogast band is only available in Mexico?? Not sure about that one. It is a very different band from the mid band. Heliogast is the lowest quality band out there. If I were to ever be banded again (and I wouldn't, they just aren't for me) I would only get the Mid band.
