Hi floydsgurl, Nice to have you here on this tread were do you live in Memphis? Your first visit cost the most $610. that includs consult fill and floro. each visit after that will run $400. I really like Dr. Houston he took a lot of time with me and answer all question. At first I thought he had an attitude because he is very to the point, but before the consult was over he became a Doctor that I felt I had been seeing forever very funny and caring.....

Can you fly, eat, hotel and have fill cheaper than $400. I checked flights and the fill which was $100. I couldn't find it that cheap. Besides I would have to take two days of and I want to save as much of my time as possible. let me know if you can and what flight you are taking.

It didn't turn out to be much cheaper.(in the long run)..We paid $231.00 r/t for the plane tickets,$25.00 for the rental car,but what got us was finding a hotel for the night..it cost us $127.00 for the night in San Diego..But we did find a Dr. in Jackson,MS that charges $200. per fill w/o fluro..

I went to one there does he do it under floro. The one I went to did not and I chose to find one that would and found out that I had a swollen esphagus five time the size of what it should be. I have to be very careful and make sure I only eat certain foods or it will burst. I would have never know this until it happened because the Doctor in Jackson said I did not need to have this done. I wish you good luck and lets keep in touch.

No he doesn't use floro..I don't like that,but i just can't afford to pay Dr. Hugh's $610 plus gas to get there..I am about 3 hrs. from Nashville and Jackson,MS.. The dr. in Jackson's name is Dr. Carroll I just had my 1st fill so hopfully it will be a while before i need another one...I might be able to afford that later..As of right now i'm unemployed..I go back to work on the 28th of this month..I drive a preschool bus...Sorry to ramble...LOL..have a good night

Dr. Wagih Mando does fills in his Kenner office...no fluoro and no local. Went first time. took out my 2 cc and put in 3 total. No change in eating. Drove back (four hours one way) and got a total of 5 cc in 10 cc French midband. Hurt like *&^% wth no local. Will go to Mexico for next fill to be put on fluoro.

But it was cheap...$180.

Hi there,

I live near Memphis too and I'm planning to check with a Doc in L.R. soon about fills. That's a little closer than Nashville. I haven't been too impressed with what I've heard about the Nashville Doc.

Have you hooked up with a support group in Memphis?

I've tried with no luck yet.

Banded 9/13/06, Looking for first fill soon.

      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.
