Hi there - I was banded July 3rd in Cancun Mexico by dr. verboonen. The first week was hell, because they also had to repair a hiatal hernia I never knew I had, which caused more nausea and reflux. Now I am settling in to it. I've lost 28 pounds since I started my pre-op diet 10 days before the surgery.

Now I am trying to figure out where to do my first fill (in August). Dr Perez in Fort lauderdale has reasonable prices, but they do not do fluroscopy. To get fluoroscopy, I have to go to Fills Center USA in St. Petersburg...

Anyway, any info on fills doctors is appreciated. I am somewhat limited since many of them will not take Mexico patients.

      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.
