Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I thought I'd share a friend's experience. My friend was banded through her insurance with an American doctor in November 2007. She has only lost a few pounds since her surgery...less than 10. She has had 3 fills which are not done with flouroscopy and she said with each fill it took 3 surgeons (each having their turn) poking her stomach repeatedly with the needle until they finally found they port. She said it was horrible. No barium swallow to check restriction after the fill. Finally, with the 3rd fill she has some restriction but not much. She is still not losing weight. After reading everyone's experience with Dr. A, I know I am making the right choice for my banding. March 27th can't get here soon enough. I suggested my friend check with Dr. A to see if he does fills so she wouldn't have to go through being experimented on each time she needed a one.
