Hello, I'm glad I'm not the only one that felt that way about the HEB office. I had my fill last week and a few days later I had an infection, so beware. I'm not sure I want to go back to any of the TLC offices. Does anyone know how much fills are at Dr. Kim's office? Leah

Yes, it was George and I am not saying that is where I picked it up, but I came down with it a couple of days after my fill, so it makes me a little concerned. Does anyone know how much it cost to go to Dr. Kim's office for fills? My doctor has me on heavy duty antibiotics and wants to see me again in a few days.

Thanks, It's nice to talk to others that are a little ahead of me so I will know what to expect. Do any of you use the heb office? I had my firt fill there last Thursday. I know it is a temporary office, but it does not seem too sanitary and I have come down with a staff infection. I am hoping you can let me know where ya go and if it is a little more professional. Leah

Hi, I was banded on march 13th by Dr. Kim and I have been reading all of your messages for the last month, so I thought I would join in. I had my first fill today and I hope it helps. I have been eating like I was not even banded the last couple of weeks so I am hoping the fill makes a difference. I have only lost 9 lbs and I too, need to start exercising. It sounds like there is not much difference with the first fill, is this the way most of you felt?

I had my sugery 3 weeks ago and I was very nervous because I did not know anyone who had used Dr. Kim, but after I met him and talked to more people I felt really glad that he was going to do my band. He has quiet a bit of experience and a really good bedside manner. You will like him!:thumbup:

Hi, My name is Leah and I am having my surgery 3/17 with Dr. Kim, also. I could not tolerate the optifast drinks, so I tried several othe Protein drinks from Whole Foods and they also gave me problems. I talked with Kristen at TLC and she suggested I try the Isopure mix at GNC. I tried the clear bottled drinks and the were fine, except they do not fill you up like the mixes do. I'm going to try the mix tomorrow to see how it does. You might give this a try if the optifast doesn't work.:thumbup: they have buy one, get one half off until the 10th.

Hi, I am scheluled with Dr. Kim on the 13th, too. I will meet with him tomorrow. I am really having a hard time with the liquid diet. I think it is sort of funny that they expect over-eaters to not eat for two weeks. Maybe we will meet up there next week. Leah

Pat, I am in my two week pre opt and I too can not drink the medifast. I have tried other soy protein drink but can not seem to handle the either. What did you use? How are you doing after your band? Leah
