J & J Swedish Bands only $ for a fill how much have you paid ?



Recommended Posts

I have recently had a J &J band done in Aug. I have lost 14 lbs. and have stopped. I have lost nothing in the past 2 weeks I think I'm ready for a fill my Dr. decided not to apply any fill during my surgery. Stated that some people have been having problems with the fill at time of surgery. Mine hold 11 CC and I have 0... I have tried to find a Dr. in

Atlanta GA I'm willing to drive to several surrounding states but I HATE to fly, and don't want tot go back to Mexico if at all possible. I can't find anyone reasonable with $ or that will follow another dr. So far best offer is $2000.00 for a life time of banding... The Dr. would probably die the day after I paid. And he is new on his own. Anyone know of better? Ga. Tenn., Ala, SC, Fl? Please help I'm A Self pay out close to 10,000.00 with everything so far. :)

I also have the Swedish Band. I'm in Saudi so I can't help you. If you don't mind me asking, why didn't you get the Inamed Band or look into fill doctors in your area prior to banding?

      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.
