What do you have against a nurse doing fills?

The one at my clinic has done at least twice as many as the surgeon.

My surgeon doesn't do fills EVER. Nurse Practitioner does all fills.

Lovelace Westside Bariatrics. Dr. Lilibeth Sanchez will do fills, but, she's only there at clinic on Wednesdays. All her fills are done under floro and for me they have always been painless and successful. If you make an appointment make sure you let them know that you want the fill done by Dr. Sanchez. The number there is (505) 727-2300. I feel the same way about PA's.

SouthWest endocrinology in Albuquerque also does fills, however, I don't know much about them.

Each time (at least 5 times) when I was filled or unfilled by a PA the insertion of the needle hurt like hell. I even thought that she was doing it on purpose at one time and left the appointment cursing her. Probably isolated, however, each time my doc has done it I don't even know when the needle is in.

I'm with you I don't want a PA to do my fills when I have my lap band done, I would prefer my doctor do it since he's the one putting in the lap band

Perhaps you just had a bad PA?

I don't have a personal stake in it, but it just seems like you are painting them all with the same brush.

You are correct, but as long as I have a choice, I'll continue making my appointments on Wednesday's.

      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.
