East Texas Dr. Offering Lap Band Fills To Us And Foreign Patients



Recommended Posts

My name is Dr. Gerald Garwood. I have been located in College Station, Texas but have moved to Lufkin, Texas over the past few years and I just wanted to let all former and future patients know that I am still doing lap band fills, mostly in Lufkin, Texas. If you are interested or have any questions on pricing or anything in general my personal cell phone number is (979)575-7740 or you can give me a call at Urgent Doc in Lufkin where I work as a urgent care provider (936) 634-3627.

Also you can check out my website for basic information http://www.ggarwoodmd.com/contact.html

To schedule fill/appointment please call (979)575-7740 to speak directly to me.

Thank you

Also I do foreign fills, I know some Drs. are not comfortable doing fills on bands that were put on in Mexico and other foreign countries but I will do these fills to save you a trip back to Mexico or wherever you had it done.

I bet that will be good news for some of us. Do you use Flouro when you do fills?

      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.
