Dr. Marsden. He is doing my revision. Banded on 6/14 and the port was flipped. Found out at my first fill. He is very qualified, and his practice speaks for it.

Yes I had Lapband in 08 and have had am erosion so band needs to come out. Dr Alexander told me to not out it back in so his team recommended bypass. I was hesitant until he showed me the complication reports where the band is at the same risk level as Lapband. Dr Alexander was the best surgeon I ,et as I tried 3 or four and he just knew the most. When I consulted with him he sat solely with me for two hours. he listened and asked about all aspects of the band and then what to do from then on. I had a choice between sleeve and bypass and he stated sleeve is great but because they don't have alot of long term surgery results in sleeve for a revision bypass is best

I see Francis Veninga in Carrollton and I love him. He did my band in 2009, gallbladder in May and revision to sleeve on 7/10. I love his staff too. He really took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I was comfortable with my decision.

I had Dr. Scott Stowers with Bariactric Solutions he was really good. He has an office in Dallas, they also have a bus that goes around to different places to do fills they are good at what they do they use a fluoroscope to do all their fills. I think cash pay is 150.00 for a fill. I don't pay anything with my insurance.

      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.
