Fill anywhere between DC and NYC



Recommended Posts

I was filled two months ago in Italy by Dr Favretti and Segato, as a South African I had no choice as local options dont exist. To get my fill I am supposed to travel back to Italy, but the flight is long and the cost very high.

My company however is sending me to the USA next week for a week, I have one meeting in DC, one in Baltimore and one in New York City.

This has come up out of the blue, and I wasnt expecting to travel so this is very last minute.

Can anyone help with a name of a reasonably priced doctor (the South African currency really sucks - i had to save for a very long time to have the procedure) and someone who will see me on such short notice?

Thanks and btw I have lost 20kg in 2months since the op, but the weekly weight loss is slowing down now (I hope a fill would accelerate that again) :confused:

Hello BNJ,

I read your post and may have a solution for you. There is a new facility dedicated to patients that need an adjustment of their gastric bands. They are located about 30 minutes from NYC, in Florham Park NJ. The facility is known as The Banding Centers of America. You can contact them at 973 805 9977. Hope this is helpful. Check out their web site: www.BandingCentersOfAmerica.com

      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.
