So I need a fill and called my surgeon's office for an appointment. They said they are booked until March!

What do I do? I've maintained the past couple of weeks and need to lose some more. I guess I just sit tight, but this is sooo annoying!

Anyone else have or had this issue?

WOW, thats good to lose all that weight. I've had mine done 9/26/09 lost 40pds , and went back for another fill last wk gain 4oz put thats cause it came back up again, like I'm still hungry and over eat get sick so my mind isnt set too tell to quit?, any suggestion?

my surgeon is dr aceves as well......and i haven´t had that problem at all......are you in southern california? is there any way that you could contact dr aceves? or do you have to go with your doctor?

I am just wondering...why does your dr. have to be there for the fill? I've had two fills and they were not done by the dr., they were done by the assistants. I haven't even seen my dr. since before I had surgery (10/9/09). I got my 1st fill on 12/7/09, but when I called the office to try and schedule a sooner fill, I was rejected and told I had to wait until 12/7.

Wish you the best!

35 lbs. lost since I began my journey.

I also only see the Physicians' Assistants. He has two. They are trained by him and very well versed in Lap Band. I figure that he does the surgery and that's his expertise and they handle patient care. I don't mind at all!

Hmmm, I will have to see about his assistant, Brian, being able to do the fill. My other doctor (internist) also had the lap band and is hoping to be trained in giving fills. I hope so!

I just called my surgeon's office AGAIN this afternoon and they told me to call back Friday, or they will call me if they find out. Oh, I'm so mad!

Yes, I'm in Southern California, about 20 minutes North of Orange County. Where is Dr. Aceves?

I think Dr Aceves is in mexicali, mexico.

I too am in So. Cal. My doctor's office is out of Dr. LePort, Lite Dimensions and Dr. Kelly Frances was my surgeon. They are based in Fountain Valley.
