I'm in Kissimmee and so far I have not had a fill but I did sign up with www.fillcentersusa.com They called last week to see if I found another office to do my fills but I let them know that they were first on my list should I decide it's time for one.

They seem cool.

I think it is marvelous that you have lost so much in such a short time. I am right near cocoa beach..I do not know where orange city is..will ck out the map. Our Dr here is celebrating going on three years doing the bands. I think around 250 people. I do not recall many people who have lost as fast as you. (course I do not get out much lol). Congrats to u too!

Telly, Do Those Yogurt drinks Fill You Up? That's A Great Idea, I Guess You Get Very Creative With Different Foods Now, Huh? Tomorrow I Get To Start On Milk Products, Yea!!! I Am So Looking Forward To That, I'm Over The Jello/juice Thing, I Wonder If I'll Ever Hate Ice Cream That Much.

Hi everyone. I'm from Longwood, which is about 10 miles north of Orlando. I was banded on August 22nd in Monterrey, Mexico by Dr. de la Garza.

Where do you guys go for your follow up and fills? I was thinking about going to Celebration. Anyone had any experience there?

Welcome Ginger....I am going to start working in Longwood in a couple of weeks or less! :( Anyway, there are lots of threads in the FL section about just what your asking....Dr. Kim in Celbration has a good reputation. He charges $995 to join.....this will include 1 fill....then the fills are $150/fill I believe....that's the way it was a while back. I go over to Zephyrhills b/c Dr Grossbard accepted me (I had my band placed in TN and moved)....

God BLess,

Melody

      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?

      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.
