Hi, I was just banded in Mexico on March 25th and doing well. I had called a doctor in Kansas City before I went to Mexico to see if he would do the fills, and how long it would take to get in, etc. They gave me a time frame of 7-8 weeks. However, when I called today to set up the actual appointment, they are going to make me wait 3 months! Needless to say, I am not happy. That is a very long time to wait for restriction-please, if any of you have a doctor you use or have heard of who will do fills who lives in the Kansas/Mo area, please please email me with the number. I have paid a lot of money for this tool and it is making me crazy to think of waiting 3 months. Thanks again.

It would if you'd post the doctor's name (so you don't get a bunch of replies recommending the same person) but I've heard that Dr. Malley takes on MX patients. I know my surgeon does not, and I've not heard of any other local surgeons who do.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
