My name is Jill I have struggled with my weight all my life and I am ready for somthing that is going to work for a change. I have been interested in the lap band in the past but my husband didnt like all the complications that came with the band and I wasnt to sure eithier. I have done alot of research the past couple days and im extremly excited about the gastric piltation surgery. I am very fortunate to live so close to Dr. Walkins only an hour or so. He did my sister-in-laws band and she has said great things about him and his staff. I am getting some information from Dr. Walkins Saturday. Im wondering the price of the surgery does anyone know???

My surgery is on the 29th of this month with Dr. Watkins. My GPS procedure including 2 years of follow up costs $9,900. Good luck to you. The day I decided WLS was right for me was the day I started feeling happier with myself.

      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.
