Well, it's helped some. Maybe, it will kick in and work better soon. This is another "bad weather" day, so I won't be on much today. Have a good day after Sunday.

All you Mt. Pleasant people, I have a question. I had my first fill with Dr. Maese in Ferris, Tx. I wasn't much impressed even though he came highly recommended. There were 4 of us there and he ran us through like cattle through a branding gate. I had questions for him but he just sort of pushed me through. For $200 I felt I deserved more. My daughter's mother-in-law is a nurse at Pittsburg hospital. She was telling me about a Dr. Querry there in Pittsburg who does surgery and fills. She's fairly new in the area. Have any of you heard anything about her? Her receptionist really spoke highly of her. The receptionist has had a band and she does hers. She said she would take as much time as I want or need to answer questions. Another advantage is that it's just 25 miles from Omaha and not 130. With the price of gas it would really save me big bucks. She onlyl charges $100 for a fill. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about her. Thanks for any help.

Sorry LL, I haven't heard of her. My advice is to just be careful about choosing a doctor to do your fills. Is she trained by Inamed? How many band procedures has she done? How long has she been certified? These are questions that I would ask her. The physician who does the fills is just as important as the one that placed the band. And I'm not being rude when I say this cause if I didn't have insurance, I woud be in your boat too, but I would be a little leary of charges so cheap. Make an appointment with her and discuss the procedure with her and then make a decision.

Sorry, if I wasn't much help.

      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.
