Fill Dr near Columbia Mo?



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!

Im currently living in San Diego CA (husbands in the navy) but will be moving to Columbia in January while he finishes his final deployment. Im getting banded here in SD on November 11th, and will get my first fill here. However, Im looking for a good referral to a fill dr in Columbia. My surgeon is looking for one, but I know personal recommendations sometimes mean more than professional ones.

Also, are there any support groups out there that you guys know of too?

I am just starting my journey but have been very pleased with my doctor and staff. Boone hospital center in Columbia offers everything you need including the support group meetings. You should be able to find all the information on the web under Boone Hospital Center.

Hi!!! I have been working with dr.pitt with Columbia bariatric! He and his team are amazing to work with. They have support groups every 3rd Thursday of the month and before the meeting they have a clothing swap. You can bring in clothes you don't fit and take some that do fit back home! If you google Columbia bariatric in mo they should pop up! Good luck

      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.
