1) Area of USA

2) Price with and without fluoro

3) Type of Provider, (MD, APN etc)

1) I live in CO

2) fills are $100 after my three months of covered care. My fills are done without fluoro but if I were to get one with, it would be covered by my insurance.

3) My band surgeon does my fills himself.

4) I don't really understand this question. Are you asking if he is banded himself.... no.

3) Surgeon

4) Yes he was banded

I need to know what kind of prices are quoted around the country. Please

include in your post:

1) Area of USA - Dallas, Texas

2) Price with and without fluoro - with $250, they don't do it without I made a $50 co-pay, insurance picked up the balance.

3) Type of Provider, (MD, APN etc) - don't know what APN stands for, my fill was done by a nurse practitioner

4) Is that provider a "bandster? - the doctor isn't but the nurse practitioner is

      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.
