I had my surgery on March 18, 2008. I had an appointment for my first fill on Monday, May 5, 2008 nand my Doc. canceled it. I have a new appointment on May 31, 2008. The cancellation has nothing to do with me but with new office procedures. I am soooooo upset. I am getting so I am very hungry and was looking forward to getting my fill and continuing with my weight loss. When I called back to complain my doctors nurse gave me a lecture about the band being a tool and talked to me about diet, exercise and drinking my water. I told her that with out a fill the band is not a tool being used to its full capacity. On top of all of this, I was chosen by my Doc. to be in a documentary (my surgery was taped and I was interviewed). All of this is going to be on the hospitals website. He wants to complete the documentary in July. I was wondering about getting a fill someplace else or should I just wait for May 31?

I can't imagine 6 months but I'm sure the things you learned about your self are invaluable. I guess there can be many ways to look at a situation and I took a negative approach. Learning about myself and my eating habits is a scary but necessary thing. The fill is out of my hand now so I have taken a wait and see approach. No, I was not given anything for doing the video. Didn't seem like bad idea at the time time but now...... I just don't know!
