I had my first appointment in January and hope to be banded in April.

So it's been about 30 hours since surgery and overall I am feeling well. No had pain so far just a very sore stomach. Hungry too I feel better than expected though

I had one night of super bad pain in my stomach where I almost couldn't get out of bed. I am sure it was the gas. Fyi so you can be prepared. It sounds like you are doing great! :-)

I am a month out and my large incision still give me pains at times. It still has a scan on it. But I am diabetic so it will take longer to heal. :-(

I'm in Mesa and using True Results out of Scottsdale with Dr. Stevenson. Day 1 of the 14 day pre-op diet and surgery set for June 21st.

Gary you'll do great. Dr Stevenson did mine on the 23 rd of may. He's wonderful

Kerryisme: I had Doc Stevenson as well---he seems to be great thus far.. My scars ar so small compared to other who had procedure by other doctors... If you don't mind me asking, your big incision, is it higher or lower closer to your navel? Mine is at least six inches higher to my left vs others whose are lower... Maybe I have a longer torso? My first fill is this Thursday... Can't wait to get this moving !

Gary- you'll be fine and do great!

Keep me posted!

Hey there. My scar is also about 6 inches high than my naval and also just off the the left. I am not sure if this is the norm or not. I am anxious to hear about your fill. I have mine scheduled for the 26TH and cannot wait. I feel like I could eat the same as I did before the surgery. Excited to find that "green zone" keep me updated please. :-)

Will keep you posted. I'm ready!

Hi Everyone I've been on vacation for a while. Maintained my weight and lost a couple of lbs. on vacation. The best thing was that on this vacation, I fit so much better in the airplane seats and could buckle my seat belt with no effort! Two years ago when I went to Hawaii, I hid my seat belt area because I was too embarrassed that it didn't fit around me and buckle. It's these tiny victories that make you so excited!

Going for my 3rd fill on Monday and hoping that I get some restriction. I haven't had much of anything yet. I know that I also have to get back into the gym. Being a teacher and being on summer break has caused me to be a little lazier and slack in the exercise department. Now that I'm done with vacation, routine will be starting

Love reading everyone's posts. I'm learning so much from all of you!

That sounds great Phxgirl! I am kind of aggravated with True Results. They tell me to come back in two to three weeks for a fill and they can't get me in for two months! Are you having the same problem?

I am having the same problem. I had my first fill on June 19th and cannot get back in til August 1st

I am having the same problem. I had my first fill on June 19th and cannot get back in til August 1st

I had to get 3 cc's taken out in may due to problems and my apt to start getting it put back is on July 25th. took me 2 months too. this sucks

Maybe they should hire some more staff. We should maybe email corporate. May help?

Yep, having the same problem too. They supposedly have been hiring new people but things haven't changed. Waiting over a month for a fill is very discouraging to all of us because we are trying to make this work and hit the green zone. Maybe a call to corporate would work, not sure?

I'm having same issue. 3 1/2 weeks post op was first fill, next appt 6 weeks after. Frustrated too b/c the first week after I couldn't even go 4 hours until my stomach was growling....

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.
