Looking To Get Fills In Sf Bay Area



Recommended Posts

I was banded out of country .. and I want to get fills in SF Bay area where I actually live.

I am willing to travel up to North bay or San Jose area, but would prefer either East Bay or SF

I was banded in December 2011, and since then, I've lost some weight but lately (for past 1.5 months), I've been eating almost like a normal person.

I've contacted one office and they gave me a quote for a year of unlimited fills, but there is a slight chance that I might be moving out of state in the summer, and did not want to stick to such long term commitment.

Are there any good doctors for getting just fills? Any price quotes ?

I would really appreciate any feedback/help I could get on this !

(I've browsed the fills forums and there were very few options available, from what I found ... and that's my reason for posting here)

Hi. If you're still looking, try calling the Ciro Center in San Jose @ 408-271-3000 & ask to see Dr. Johnson. The receptionist/assistant there is named Melissa & she's VERY [/font]knowledgeable about this procedure. She'll help you where she can or have you talk w/Sherri who is the patient coordinator. Dr. Johnson is the Regional Director for N. California and in my opinion, is the very best!! :-)[/size]

Several others, who see him, & I are putting together a very loose support group and if you're interested, we hope you'll share in this with us. If not, no problem & I wish the very best for you.

      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.
