Hey, I am new to this site. But im not new to the idea of lap band, I have been reseaching this for a while. Ive been to a doctor meeting here in Texas, but they didnt accept my insurance. So I am looking for a doctor who will accept BCBS, but is also a great doctor. Anyone know a local Ft Worth (maybe Dallas) doctor? Im ready to get this done and get on with my life. Thanks for any :help: you can give me. :confused: Jen

Welcome to LBT, Jen. There's a bunch of great bandsters in the DFW area that will have you feeling like one of the gang in no time. I admire their group. Best of luck to you and keep us all posted on how things are going for you!

I am also new in finding a doctor in the Fort Worth area that BCBS will accept. I found Dr. Adam Smith if you do a yahoo search type in lap band in Fort Worth Texas and he will come up. I am going to attend his free meeting in march that is in Weatherford and check him out. I found a few other doctors but they are not in the Fort Worth area that BCBS accepts. If you need that info let me know. Best of luck to you. Oh yea another thing I found amusing about Dr. Smith is that he himself is banded just thought you might want to know.

      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.
