I had my first appointment in January and hope to be banded in April.

It's never too late. Hopefully we won't have anymore problems but it is probably best to get them scheduled ahead. Take your time on healing. Everyone says to walk the gas out. I only had one big gas problem and that was during the middle of the night and I could hardly get up it hurt so bad and it was right in the middle of my stomach. It didn't take long to move on and I was ok.

I called Steve Fandre at the corporate office. He said that they were having staffing issues and are fully staffed now. I should not have an issue getting an appointment within 3 weeks of my last appointment. I called Scottsdale TR and told her I had talked to Mr. Fandre. At first she said she did not have any openings in July and then she found one. It isn't a good time for me but it is better than having to wait for August. Steve said if there is any problems getting our appointments to call him. His cell phone is 214-850-5377. He said it was ok to send his number out to all of you. Good luck to all of you!

That sounds great Phxgirl! I am kind of aggravated with True Results. They tell me to come back in two to three weeks for a fill and they can't get me in for two months! Are you having the same problem?

I had one night of super bad pain in my stomach where I almost couldn't get out of bed. I am sure it was the gas. Fyi so you can be prepared. It sounds like you are doing great! :-) I am a month out and my large incision still give me pains at times. It still has a scan on it. But I am diabetic so it will take longer to heal. :-(

Congratulations by the way. I hope you are doing good!

I am doing fine. My port site still hurts once in awhile. My last little stitch came off yesterday. I had my first fill a week ago and now have to wait another month for the next fill due to no available appointments any sooner. I did not feel any different with this fill of 1.5cc. I have to make sure I control what I eat!

Thank you. It hasn't happened anymore and I am on an antibiotic. So I am thinking it was probably gas.

I had surgery yesterday. Later in the evening the incision on the top left would hurt when I would try to get up off of the couch. Then about 12:30 it woke me with a lot of pain that would go to one incision to another. Was that probably gas? I hurt so bad and once I was able to get out of bed it was much better.

I have a question about gas in the abdominal cavity. I had my surgery this morning and I woke with a terrible pain that felt like it was going to one incision to the next. Is this gas pains? And know I can move with out too much pain. Thank you for the help.

Getting banded on Friday, getting a little nervous!

Congratulations! We are getting closer!

I got approved today! April 19th!

It sounds like you are doing pretty good. I hope all continues to go well. How does it feel not to be hungry?

How are you doing?

How are you doing?

Congrats I hope everything continues to go well.

My thoughts are with you!

Hmm, I wonder if it is because I might need to have it done in the hospital due to my insurance.
