Well, I did it. I'm banded!:whoo: Has anyone been to the fillcenter here in Vegas and if so how was the experience. I can get free fills with my doc in Mexico but it's such a timing issue to go back and forth I really hope to find someone local.

I'm getting ready to get my husband into FillsCenterUSA. They told me that you pay by credit card and then you can submit for payment to your insurance company yourself. Initial visit is 349.00 then 165.00 after that for fills.

I'm thinking about going to the fill centers here in Vegas. I've gained 4 pounds. I usually teeter up a few, but then go down again...all by itself. But it seems I've been 'up' longer than normal.

And I've come too far to gain this weight back....not gonna happen! That's what's so wonderful about the band. Adjustable!

Course, I haven't gone to the bathroom in a few weeks. I so hate that. I took a few laxatives so we'll see if the scales go back down.

Anyone found a cure (besides sugar) for Constipation?

      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.
