Dfw Area Fills



Recommended Posts

I thought I'd pass this along for anyone it might help.

I was checking out Forest Park Medical Center because of an upcoming sinus surgery and got side tracked because of the bariatric surgery stuff on their site. Anyway, they offer band fills for $50.00. You can have surgery by any doctor and still use their services. All you have to do is make an appointment. They have several locations.

I had my first fill ever there this past Saturday. It took me a month to get in, but it was so worth it. $50, as a self pay without insurance. Didnt get mine done there originally. They did it with flouroscope and were amazing! Checked my level with barium before unhooking me. No hidden charges, very informative and interested in what my goals were and what I had been doing and eating prior to gauge what my fill level should be. I got the feeling they really were I was so nervous before hand because I hate needles, but they were really great. Being a self pay who financed, the thought of having to pay 150-200 in addition to my monthly payments was kinda overwhelming. I definately would recommend them. I had to call a scheduling service at 1-855-BANDFIL. Calling for my six week follow up appt next week so I can be sure to get back in.

      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.
