I know of at least two former LBT members who used Dr. Billy. Use the "Search" button at the top of each page and type in his name - you'll get some hits.

Best wishes on your journey.

Lory: I was banded in Mexico then developed some complications and didn't like the aftercare so I went to see Dr. Billy. He is a wonderful, kind, and caring surgeon. He knows his stuff. His staff is just as caring as he is. Everytime he accessed my port he hit it the first time. Even when it was tilted. He does not use Fluoro unless he has concerns or can't access the port. He is fast too.

He removed my band when I was diagnosed with Erosion in Dec of 2005. Can't seem to say enough good things about him either. PM me or email me if you have anything specific you wanna know. penni@pennimerrick.com

      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.
