Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a doctor who will do fill/unfills on patients who had a lapband put in in another state. Any leads on doctors, locations, and prices would be so very helpful!

Thanks in advance :)

Denise Orrill is a nurse practitioner near Mt. Vernon Il. charges 175.00 for 1st visit, 95.oo for subsequent fills. (very reasonable) here is the number: 1-618-249-6203. it's called Irvington Friendly Care. Irvington Il. Your welcome. I'm going to use her after I follow up with another surgeon right after surgery in aug.

Dr. John Wieland at OSF Weight Management Center Does them. Unfortunately, I don't know about pricing. That's in Bloomington, IL (central). 309-661-5040

Not sure where you are located but Dr. Elli is my doctor. He is in Chicago, UIC but he also works from the 900 Michigan Ave Surgical Center. No clue on pricing.

Dr Elli is also my surgeon. At UIC each fill is $250. I'm not sure if that's the flat rate or if that's based off your insurance. He's awesome.

Does bcbs cover fills with dr elli? Waiting to hear back from the office but i have no patience. My old

Doctor office covered fills I just had to pay my copay. Nurse wanted me to pay 250 for a fill and avoid acknowledging I had insurance...weird!

BCBS covered my fills at Northwestern. Kaitlyn Fiori is the nurse practitioner that normally does the fills. She works for Dr. Nagle (head of gastro dept.).

      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.
