Bonniesue 9 Posted May 25, 2013 So it's been about 30 hours since surgery and overall I am feeling well. No had pain so far just a very sore stomach. Hungry too I feel better than expected though 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. :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZ Gary 149 Posted June 7, 2013 I'm in Mesa and using True Results out of Scottsdale with Dr. Stevenson. Day 1 of the 14 day pre-op diet and surgery set for June 21st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerryisme 9 Posted June 7, 2013 Gary you'll do great. Dr Stevenson did mine on the 23 rd of may. He's wonderful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GetMyGrooveBack 21 Posted June 15, 2013 Kerryisme: I had Doc Stevenson as well---he seems to be great thus far.. My scars ar so small compared to other who had procedure by other doctors... If you don't mind me asking, your big incision, is it higher or lower closer to your navel? Mine is at least six inches higher to my left vs others whose are lower... Maybe I have a longer torso? My first fill is this Thursday... Can't wait to get this moving ! Gary- you'll be fine and do great! Keep me posted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerryisme 9 Posted June 17, 2013 Hey there. My scar is also about 6 inches high than my naval and also just off the the left. I am not sure if this is the norm or not. I am anxious to hear about your fill. I have mine scheduled for the 26TH and cannot wait. I feel like I could eat the same as I did before the surgery. Excited to find that "green zone" keep me updated please. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phxgirl 16 Posted July 6, 2013 Hi Everyone I've been on vacation for a while. Maintained my weight and lost a couple of lbs. on vacation. The best thing was that on this vacation, I fit so much better in the airplane seats and could buckle my seat belt with no effort! Two years ago when I went to Hawaii, I hid my seat belt area because I was too embarrassed that it didn't fit around me and buckle. It's these tiny victories that make you so excited! Going for my 3rd fill on Monday and hoping that I get some restriction. I haven't had much of anything yet. I know that I also have to get back into the gym. Being a teacher and being on summer break has caused me to be a little lazier and slack in the exercise department. Now that I'm done with vacation, routine will be starting Love reading everyone's posts. I'm learning so much from all of you! 1 Ricksgal_96 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonniesue 9 Posted July 7, 2013 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerryisme 9 Posted July 7, 2013 I am having the same problem. I had my first fill on June 19th and cannot get back in til August 1st Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love lucy lover 61 Posted July 7, 2013 I had to get 3 cc's taken out in may due to problems and my apt to start getting it put back is on July 25th. took me 2 months too. this sucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerryisme 9 Posted July 7, 2013 Maybe they should hire some more staff. We should maybe email corporate. May help? 1 I love lucy lover reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phxgirl 16 Posted July 7, 2013 Yep, having the same problem too. They supposedly have been hiring new people but things haven't changed. Waiting over a month for a fill is very discouraging to all of us because we are trying to make this work and hit the green zone. Maybe a call to corporate would work, not sure? 1 I love lucy lover reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
