If You're Looking For Follow Up Care In Az...

I contacted Dr. Michael Orris of Weightloss Institute of Arizona, who is known for taking complicated cases. On the website, they stated that they do an aftercare program for patients who have had procedures outside of the company, but they mostly spoke of the lapband. I emailed them and received a return stating they will do after care for patients sleeved in Mexico. I was quoted $500, but I'm not sure if that's one year or 3 years. They do on-site leak tests (as far as I know are included in price) and have a 24 hour emergency help line as long as you are a patient there. He's not listed as performing the sleeve, but I did read he has repaired leeks. The doctor seems highly qualified and is on tons of different boards around the valley. I'm requesting more info, but I would recommend people do their own inquiries in interested. Good luck, hope this atleast helps someone.

That's great information. I don't live in AZ but it is nice to know for people who do live there.

Did you ever follow up with Dr. Orris? I'm in Phx too and went to Dr. Kelly a couple of weeks before you. I moved to AZ about 2 years ago from the East Coast and had awful problems with my band and couldn't get a surgeon in Phx to see me. When I called Dr. Orris's office they said that they'd take out the band that day but I needed to pay $2k up front because my insurance did not reimburse them enough. Finally got seen at St. Luke's. Just curious if you had a similar experience.

I am going to see Dr. Orris in three days. I want to get the sleeve and I would love to know if anybody has been sleeved by him.

      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?

      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.
