Banded 4-8-11 in Canada-still looking for help for fills in US



Recommended Posts

Hi all, while I'm new to the board not new to the band, I have had 2 fills so far and need a 3rd but Canada Drs. not willing to keep filling even though they have given me 2 so far cause I'm from states, I will pay for fills but need to know place in Michigan area that will fill a Slimband (Canada band). Any help appreciated.

Type in Fill Center USA You will need to google Troy, Michigan, and get the zip code for it, and wright it down.

Fill center usa will ask for a zip code put that in and the location for Troy, Michigan will pop up.

I have been there myself, and it is a very nice, and clean place.

Let me know how it goes.

Shirley.

Shasta the difference between a slimband and the realize band?

Absolutely nothing, other one (Realize) is FDA approved and the Slmiband is not as it is Canadian brand.

I drove to Canada, the doctor I had in Windsor Canda has agreed to keep me as a patient and cont. my fills, therfore I got my 3rd fill and this one is a lot more restricted that the other 2, I am at 7.5 CC's on a band that is max of 11 C's.

      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.
