Does anyone know offhand if Dr. Fielding will do fills for MX patients?

He will. They charge $495 for the initial consult and fill, and then each fill after that is only $100.

Dory Ferraro also fills Lap-Bands. She charges $395 for the initial consultation and $175 for each subsequent fill. She's authored a lot of papers on the Lap-Band and has been involved with Inamed/Allergan/Bioenterics for years. Of course, Dr. Fielding is just as experienced. I don't think you could go wrong with either one... and both fill Mexican Bands!

I see Dory Ferraro for monthly follow up and fills. She's terrific, but she's only in NYC once a month. She has a practice out at Long Island Jewish Hosp. and Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville. Lawrence isn't too difficult to get to without a car. Metro North stops a few blocks from the hospital.

      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.
