Karen,

I was banded by Dr. Ortiz on Jan.3. There is a doctor in Baton Rouge, Louisiana that will do fills for $300. The only problem is they only do them once a month. They rent a machine to have them done under fluroscope. YOu may find them under fills. If you have any questions just email me.

Hi Karen..I found this info on this siteunder Arkansas I I pasted it here for you..

I have been told that

Dr. Campbell in Hot Springs, Arkansas will do them on the Inamed bands only . So, if you're going to Mexico to get the surgery done, and don't plan on going back there for fills, make sure you get an inamed band.

      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.
