hi,

have you talked to dr.ponce yet? does he do the fills with fluro? how much does he charge? i was planning on going back to monterrey due to the high cost MD's were charging here. im was banded on 6/15. i can already tell my appetite is getting too big again so i will need a fill in 6 weeks post op.

thanks, river

river, their office said $2,000 for a year of care, up to 4 fills, all with fluoroscopy. if i had only 2 1/2 fills a year with dr rumbaut--my airline cost

would be that much and a lot more hassle than a 3 hr drive to dalton would be. i love dr r. and fills are free, but it would be more costly and time consuming for the actual trip than i would want. dr r. recommended dr Ponce anyway.:biggrin1:

      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.
