I just posted this in another thread, but will paste it here too in case you don't see it there... :nervous

I live near Lake Charles and I drive alllll the way to College Station, TX for my fills and it's worth it. I love Dr. Stephanie Eijsink. She does fills only (no banding), has a band herself and makes appointments on weekends. I don't have access to her phone number at the moment, but you can contact her by email - seijsink@swmail.sw.org she checks often.

Most of her patients have been banded in Mexico and she is not the least bit judgemental about it... unlike some local doctors I spoke with.

wow! $300.00 a bit high - my daughter loves the doctor she found in houston. Dr. Matthew St. Laurent at Woodlands Memorial Hopsital. ph. 281-921-1890 -- she had her band done Feb. 9 in Mx. w/Dr. Sanchez and she went for first fill on March 31 w/Dr. St. Laurent and she went back last Friday for him to add more. He told her w/her first fill if she wasn't satisfied to let him know in 2 weeks and she could come back and he'd do more and she did and he only charged $40.00 for that trip. His first visit is $150.00 to go over your records and $250.00 for the fill. Then I think your fills are just the $250. then on. But she was very - very pleased that he took the time to talk to her and this last visit he took out the saline he had put in - to make sure it was all there and no leaks and then they added it back and then some. But he takes the time to talk to you and explain things - that's what she likes the best.

Thanks for the info - and i'll keep this name in case we need it in the future.

Who is going to do your surgery and when?

Good luck.

Had the surgery on March 23. Have not had a fill yet. As long as I am losing weight, I am not going to worry about it. When the time comes, I will contact him then. There are some fill doctors in Shreveport, but the first visit there was 750.00, and then it would be 100.00 per visit. And I got a name of a doctor in Jackson that everyone seems to be happy with. I think he is 150.00 a fill also.

      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.
