Make your next appt when you leave from the last visit, so you don;t have to wait extra weeks.

My Dr. has been willing to see me every two weeks and we assess how I am doing based on my level of hunger in between meals and then decide if I need a fill. I have gotten a fill at each visit so far.

Perhaps you could discuss this with your Dr. Tell the Dr. you want to work WITH your band, but the band works with restriction, not without it. Don't say everything is fine, tell them what you're feeling.

You have a big band and it might take several more fills, so I think it's very unfair they want you to wait six weeks in between fills.

I have a decent amount of willpower and I have relied on that until I get good restriction, but I don't know I could hold out as long as you have.

Maybe you could call the office each day and ask if they have any cancellations? Maybe they'll get tired of talking to you every day and just give you an earlier appt!
