I have never heard of such a thing. Fine then, just fib your date 6 weeks. He won't know the difference. I will see him next week and ask him about this. He does us Mexico patients every day. I was told 6 weeks after surgery you can get a small first fill. don't see why he would have changed it. His uncle, Dr. Sanchez in Monterrey (Murdered 2 years ago) was the one who brought the band to North America in the 1990's. Maese knows more about fills and does more of them than anyone.

Never a good idea to fib to your Dr. Band site needs to heal prior to adjusting. Also, I understood that Dr. Fox in Washington State was the first US Doctor to introduce and perform lap band surgery . .

Flowers, I did use Dr. Maese for a while but the drive to Dallas was three hours each way as I lived in Shreveport, LA. Someone on this site gave me the name of Dr. Kathleen Querry. She does fills in Marshall, TX which would be quite a ways for you but she also does fills in Paris, TX. You might check but I think Pais is closer than Tyler. Her fills are $130.00 w/o floro. If there is no fill the visit is only $30.00. I only have her Marshall phone #903-938-7200.

OK I called her and they charge $330? I think she said for the first visit and then $130.

.... but she doesnt fill Realize J&J bands, which is what I have. She only fills the older style bands.

I cant believe it, lol, there is always a reason they wouldnt give me a fill appointment, but this is the first time Iv heard this one. Thanks for the phone number. Sounds like I will have to wait until 11/29 when she is back in Tyler.

I got my first fill today at Dr. Richard Carter's office in Arlington. The staff was nice and it didn't hurt all that bad...but it wasn't great. He was very nice and I will be returning for my future fills. It did cost me $300 and I was banded in Mexico, so he does take Mexican patients. Just FYI if anyone has any questions email me and I will answer what I can. Thanks

      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.
