Used Dr. Jay almost 2 years ago and Never had an issue. I switched from a doctor who wanted to "stitch" the band to my stomach and wouldn't answer any questions(or couldn't). So, I did my research and made an appointment to speak with his staff and himself. I had lots of questions as the first doctor probably had no clue how to answer my questions. Dr. Jay was very patient and kind and listened and answered every single question.... I knew all the way through exactly what to expect. Dr. Jay seems EXTREMELY busy; so I guess that one could get the impression that you have. My question to you is; did you request that the doctor do the fill( and not the nurse)? Did you request to speak to the doctor before you received the fill as you seemed to have questions? As a suggestion for future: Be on Time for your appointment. Actually its better to be a little early to insure that you actually have the opportunity to speak with who ever you wish to speak to. When you arrive late; you put everyone after you at a disadvantage and make the whole office off schedule( yeah, a doctors office on schedule is a funny thing to say)... Plus, if you are early most of the time there are other people there who have been banded a lot longer than you. You can pick up some wonderful information from those that have gone before you... If you need to speak to the doctor to resolve some issues you have; then you need to speak with the doctor. No one will know that you need to speak with someone, unless You let them know. Most of the time doctors and nurses won't ever know that there is an issue Unless You Speak Up and Speak Out. If your kind about it; you will most likely have your needs met. Me? Never had an issue telling anyone Anything... Actually, yes it gets me into trouble sometimes. But, for the most part it serves me well.
