I got my lapband through Journeylite almost 2 years ago. I was a cash patient and paid close to 13K for it. I did it this way b/c it was FREE fills and adjustments for LIFE! I went through several seminars to find the right Dr for me and found one that I thought was good (I will not mention his name here though) Things have been good, lost 70 lbs so far with another 40 to go. It had been a while since I was in for an adjustment or even a Dr's visit so today I went in to make sure I'm on the up and up & what do they tell me??? Journeylite in Houston has CLOSED! What does that mean for all us cash patients?? We will now have to ADDITIONAL pay cash each time we want to see the Dr & even more to havean adjustment!

Are you kidding me?? How can they just up and leave Houston and not tell any of their patients? And how could the Dr not either?

So here I am & I'm just thinking I can't be the only one that is ticked off about this! Right?? So is there anyone else out there that is not happy about this? I hear there may be something in the works against Journeylite in it's home city of Cincinnati...does anyone know about this??

Did you ever find out what to do? I too was a cash patient and paid a LOT to get the "free" fills. I went to look them up today to schedule and appointment and couldn't find them anywhere, I ran across your post and I am so upset!

      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.
