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?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
