First Fill on my birthday



Recommended Posts

Yipee I finally have a appt. for my first fill. Dr. Eubanks in Portland, OR. The next day they had available is my birthday, I said oh what the heck sounds good to me. I am very excited yet a little nervous. I don't know if I should take someone with me or go it alone.

I still have no records from Dr. Lopez, I have gave up on that. I hope they don't need them.

Very reasonable prices first visit is 256.00 and any other fills after is 150.00. I am very glad to finally be seeing a Doctor haven't seen one since my surgery. Just hope everything is where it is suppose to be. Thanks again Teresa for all your help.

What a great birthday present to yourself. Hope it all goes smoothly for you :)

I had the same fears when I went for my first & second fill. I was so nervous that my band slipped or my port flipped but everything was just how it was supposed to be. Yours will be the same I'm sure. Don't worry

Good Luck!

Kathy: I asked for mine as well from Lopez and I finally had to call the facility where I was banded and get them myself. By the way, they are all in spanish. Not one english word anywhere so it is probably just as good that you don't have them. If he needs to talk to Lopez about something then he can do like the rest of us and take a number and hope you get through.

I am sure everything is OK with your band. I was nervous too the first time and my port was tilted but Dr. Billy got in it anyway. It is nice and flat now since Billy fixed it for me. LOL!!

Girls thanks for the encouragement I need it. My appetite has really changed in the last month so I know that I am ready. Want to get back on the losing side. I have been stuck for sometime.

Thanks again,

Kathy:)

      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.
