Looking for a fill in all the wrong places!



Recommended Posts

I do not know if I can make it back to Mexico for a fill. Too busy at work. Anyone know of fills docs within driving distance of New York?

Thanks,

Susan

Susan I found this info on the mexican bandsters group:

Dory Ferraro,M.S.,C.S.,ANP (Long Island Bariatric Center) , (516) 454-0960 , $250.00 without flouroscope , $450 with.

Then there is Dr Kurian and Dr Ren, but I don't see any contact info available.

Hope this info is valid. Btw, I think you should also tell them you have a midband, they might not fill for a midband.

I know Leo, I was thinking they might not fill a midband. I can't go at the two month mark. I might try a little early if I feel well enough and the Dr. checks me out and says it is ok.

      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.
