Anyone gone there? I'm in Birmingham, AL and I'm having a hard time finding a fill doc for the mexican banded (I know, I know... I should've done that beforehand) and I heard they did. Any info is appreciated! ;-)

I see Dr. Houston for my fills. He's the only one that I know of that will fill patients that were banded in Mexico in this area. I have two friends that drive from Huntsville to Nashville for fills because they can't find anyone in Alabama that will give adjustments if you were banded in Mexico.

Stephanie,

I would call his office and ask to speak with Gina Elkins. She arranges all of the fill appointments and can give you a breakdown on price. He sees you in his office, then you go a block away to Centennial Hospital for your fill using Flouro. http://www.cmcwls.com/houston.php

Hope this helps! Good luck! :)

Good Luck on finding a Dr

Dr Morton at Baptist(Nashville) is my doctor and while I was in there one day he was mentioning to his nurse the girl before me had hers done in Mexico so he must see patients that had them done in Mexico. Good luck it is just an option for you to try, I can't tell you for sure but that is what I heard him saying.

That's good to know.

How long has Dr. Morton been at Baptist? I remember him being at Southern Hills

I was banded by Dr Houston at Centennial center for the treatment of obesity - it was a great experience. I lost 30lbs in my first 5 weeks. Already had my first fill but do not feel much restriction. He added 2cc to my 10cc band.

I do recommend him.

Oh, and his secretary was banded too so she know how to help. All I need now is to find support groups.

      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.
