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.

That was a smart idea, this is really disapointing to have to wait so long between fills. Try calling corp, Im going to today. If your just starting you should be getting fills every 3 to 4 weeks, thats what I did. good luck

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! :)

I was in there this morning to have my staples removed and the PA had a new person with her that she appeared to be training. So there may be some relief coming. But to double down, I went ahead and scheduled my second appointment at the end of August to pay it safe.

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

Hi! Hope it's not too late to join in..banded with TR on July 18th. Feel good. Still sore and dealing with gas issues, but nothing too horrible. I live in Litchfield Park :-) I already had my first fill scheduled before surgery, but from what I'm reading, I should call and schedule additional ones already?

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.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that! BUT sounds like you're right on track now!! Doing awesome over here.. down 25lbs since surgery :-) I started out with a lower bmi so that equals going from a size 16 to a size 12 for me :-) went for my first fill last week and decided against it... I'm sure a time is coming when I'll be starving, but it's definitely not here lol... I struggle to get all my Protein and calories in now.... have another appointment September 30 to see where I am, but I don't see a change in appetite right now...it's encouraging to hear that when your struggling, there's something we can do about it... one of the main reasons I had the surgery in the first place :) enjoy your weekend!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
