I haven't been in a hurry to find a new bariatric center here in Austin since I didn't really feel like I need a fill. I get stuck often enough which was making me feel like I have enough restriction for the time being.
However, in reading the blogs lately, I'm thinking I could use one given all that I'm able to eat. Plus, of course, I know the more you go in for support post surgery, the more successful you are. It might even be worthwhile for me to go to some support meetings. I'm going to look them up and see how I feel about that!
I don't remember exactly where I am fill-wise, but I think it could be as high as 8cc's out of 10. Of course, there's that mysteriously disappearing fill syndrome, so who knows if I'm still that full up!
I have actually asked for and more recently gotten recommendations on Austin lap-band doctors. So I have a good place to start: the Austin Bariatric Clinic. Dr. K actually warned me that some surgeons won't want to take on new patients post surgery, but hopefully since this is a whole clinic dedicated to the cause, that won't be a problem.
Gotta take care of me!
(Whew! Posted this to the right blog this time!)
OOPS! Got the recommendation wrong. Just found the paper from the doctor. It's actually http://www.southwestbariatric.com/

I think it's smart to find a clinic. You want to have that support system in place.
