The Midband - Medical Innovation Developpement in Lyon France

The Swedish Adjustable - Obtech Medical AG of Switzerland now owned by Johnson & Johnson/Ethicon

BioEnterics Corp - Inamed

Every once in a while we get some that pops up with a band from outside the US that is looking for a fill doctor.

I think I remember vaguely of some one have a "Cousine" lapband from Belgium.

There are probably some others.

Are you looking for something in particular?

Bless your heart you live in a cold place. Isn't the population in that territory pretty small also. I think I read somewhere around 25,000.

Yikes that is great thinking ahead and doing your researching and planning.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

      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.
