I had my surgery in Mexico, but I'm in need of a fill. It's been a year, and I'm still losing weight but it's verrrrryyyy slooooow. And I get full, but I don't stay full for very long at all - maybe 20 minutes.

Anyway, I was going to Mexico for my aftercare, but now that a passport is required, and I have to drive 3-4 hours (I live near Odessa, TX), plus arrange transport from/into Mexico, which is another $110, I've decided it would be easier, quicker, and cheaper to get fills in Dallas.

Does anyone know of a doctor in the DFW area that will do a fill under fluoro on a Mexico surgery? Please please please let me know! Thanks!

You might call Dr. Adam Smith in Forth Worth. Qualify For Fort Worth LAP-BAND® Weight Loss Surgery

He does the fills with x-ray right in the office. Not sure if he'll do fills on mexican bands, but it's worth a shot.

Dr. Smith is partnered with True Results.... They have an office in Hurst, which would be about an hour closer than the Richardson office. They are who I did all of my insurance work through before they handed me off to Dr. Smith.

I see Dr. Kim in Colleyville. All of my fills have been with fluoro and haven't had any problems. Their number is 581-6100.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
