Fills for Mexican patients, etc.



Recommended Posts

Hi bandsters,

I frequent the ObesityHelp lap band forum, and someone suggested that I should post this info here.

I have heard from a lot of patients who were either banded in Mexico or or are being charged ridiculous amounts for fills and aftercare who are frustrated and not having good results. I am fairly obsessed with seeing band patients do well, therefore I have decided to accept outside patients in my practice for fills and aftercare.

My only requirement is that you go through our class with my dieititian (who is banded herself) and make a long-term commitment to aftercare with us. Our patients to well because we are demanding and follow our patients very closely!

Our number is 877.442.BAND or 513.559.1222. If you need a reference just ask anyone on ObesityHelp, I spend way to much time over there!

Dr. Curry, I think you must be a wonderful and caring doctor! I have never quite understood the reluctance and outright refusal of American doctors in wanting to provide aftercare for those of us banded in Mexico. I wanted to thank you for posting this information here, it is always nice to have a doctor in the house!

      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.
