Dr Nick is wonderful, but he is more than $1000. He does provide lifetime care and access to a lot of support, though.

I'm going to a Dr. Gonzalez, but he's across the San Diego Border in Mexico. He is only 6300 :)

I'm leaving from love field instead of dfw because it's less expensive

Mine was $ 350 with taxes and fees and insurance included. I flew from DFW it was closer to me and it was the cheaper I found with less time on layover. I bought my ticket on priceline

Misty I would just suggest whenever you are shopping for tickets pay attention to total travel time, most have a layover, and you don't want to sit around in an airport for hours waiting post op

Met with Dr Gonzalez in Dallas. Felt very good about him & forest park surgery center but have decided to use a little rock doctor because of convenience. Now going with lap band instead of sleeve.

      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.
