Banded May 23 and only down 15lbs. I am strting to feel like I may not have a sucess story.

I havent gone just due to mt work schedule and living on the west side. I would never make it in time

Thank you so much. I will try that

I have never met with a nutritionist, unless I dont think I have. I had my last fill 3 weeks ago and am starting to.feel some restriction, I dont feel as if im in the green zone yet though. I go in for a fill with a nurse and that's it's. Also I am using tru results Scottsdale and they seem so busy it takes forever to get an appt for a fill. I guess it's just not what I had expected as far as support goes. But already I am not gaining :-)

I am still having issues getting appoitments in a timely manner. Anyone else?

Support woukd be good. To be honest I kind pf just feel like I was banded and sent on my way.

I had 5 ccs in my 10cc band at surgery. Firstfill was 1 cc and second one was.4 for a total of 6.4 in my band. Still not feeling much restriction

Hi there. I was banded on March 23rd and had my first fill on June 26th I was still sore at my incision site and they did the fill anyhow. They numbed it with limousine first and it was not painful. I also felt like Can eat anything and still do. They thing I struggle with most is eating to fast and too big of bites and have gotten "stuck" a few times. From What I understand when you hit the green zone it will be worse so just try to train yourself now to slow down and take smaller bites. I don't have another fill until August 1st I can't wait to find that sweet spot though. Best of luck to you

OK I am 7 weeks post op and have had 1 fill. I haven restriction and have only lost 10 lbs. I am looking forward to getting more fills and hopeful hitting the green zone. I just am looming for done pointers the thing I am struggling most with is not eating so fast and small bites I am a very quick eater and tend rivalry large bites. I am feeling so awkward trying to chew for so long and waiting in-between bites. Does anyone have any advice for me. I am worried that I am going to have a slip or something I has more fills. I already get stuck often from eating to fast and to big of bites.

I called and complained this afternoon. They could get me in this month at all however they did get me scheduled for my next 4 spots. I'll have to wait until August 1st for my second fill but I do have my next 3 visit scheduled every 3 weeks after that. Just scheduled ahead guys. Probably our best bet for now

Oh my gosh! That is awesome news! I will call today also. That k you so much

It is very frustrating. After my first fill I had to wait 6 and a half weeks for my second (August 1st) so What I did was scheduled another fill August 15th It is very frustrating. I feel like I did before surgery and just waiting around really sucks.

Maybe they should hire some more staff. We should maybe email corporate. May help?

I am having the same problem. I had my first fill on June 19th and cannot get back in til August 1st

I understand. Well if your insurance paid for your ecg you shouldn't have to pay anything. They collected my deductible at the surgery center the day I had my ecg. I think you'll be good. Good luck to you!

That is weird. I had to go to a pre operative appointment before surgery.

Pre operative

Pre open appointment are you using Tru results?

Do you have a preop approach at truresults next week? they should finalize it then. If you are insurance pay I would assume they will collect your deductible whatever it is at the surgery center. Mine was 200 you Can find out your deductible on your insurance card.

Are you insurance or self pay or both?

Just my insurance deductible at the surgery center. It was easy and I had surgery 1 month after I decided to do it. Could have been sooner but I couldn't get the time off work

It was awesome. My insurance paid for a hernia repair and I paid for the Lapland (5500) my payments are 190 a month for 3 years. That includes 12 months of fills and aftercare also. Like I said no credit check at all. They have you apply for care credit but if you are denied. They. Finance you no questions asked

I have my first fill today and am drawing a blank. I can't eat for a certain time before the fill correct? How long is that and can I drink anything?
