Mindi,

Do you know if Dr. Brody accepts patients banded out of the country?

I do not know for sure---I know he accepts patients who were banded by other doctors---so I would think there is a good chance he would.

Joe,

Have you found anyone other than the doctor in Frederick?

I was banded locally (Brody). The only Dr. I know who will service MX patients is Dr. Brinkley in Frederick.

Hi Ellieroo,

I just got on for July 12, 11:00am. I hope this is not a mistake. I haven't had a fill yet, so I hope I don't mess up what has been a pretty uneventful journey.

Also, there is Dr. Green's office in Rockville Maryland. I was banded in Mexico by Dr. V and his office was recommended. His office is great and they are very flexible.

Also how was your experience in Mexico and who was your Doctor? I'm gonna go the Mexico route this October and I'm trying to do all of my research before I have it done.

      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.
