I have good and bad news.

Good news is that Los Angeles has signed up for a training.

Bad news is that it won't be until the end of August.

I was banded 6/21/07 in Tj Mexico. I am worried about finding a Dr who will do a fill for me. Anyone know of a Dr in the Palm Beach area? I imagine I will need one next month? When is a fill generally needed?

My buddy just had hers done in Tj Mex too, but she lives in Marietta and works in Buckhead. The only fill Dr she could find ended up being in Alpharetta. She's going for her first fill tomorrow. I don't know his name, but I can ask if you would like me to?

Does anyone know if FillCenters is going to open the office in Atlanta this weekend? I thought Darlene told me July 15th was the target date.

Cathy,

There was a delay on the C-Arm for the Roswell, GA location. Darlene is scheduling for this weekend in Moultrie and has a new target date for the weekend of July 20-21 but unfortunately will not be sure of that date until early next week when the C-Arm is scheduled to be delivered.

Is there anyone out there from Oregon, who has went to mexico for their lapband? I am looking for a place to get my fills. I have not been banded yet, that is on tuesday!!! Anyways I have heard that it is hard to find U.S. Dr.s that will do a fill for patients from mexico. Any one have any references, they would be greatly appreciated.

Marimaru - There are many options out there other than FillCenter. Don't know how far you are willing to go but, my doctor will see you for fills in West Hills California LAPBAND surgery – Gastric Bypass Versus LAPBAND - LAPBAND Pictures . BTW he is fantastic!

Hi! Can u tell me how much your dr. charges. West Hills is about 60 miles from me so it's definitely a possibility for me to have a fill there. I was also thinking of using Fillcenter but they r in San Diego.< /p>

Thanks!

Jenn

Fluoro in Roswell will be $200. I just got off the phone with Darlene and she said the C-Arm is supposed to be delivered on Sunday.:clap2:

I will give another update on Monday to let you all know if she will be in Roswell next weekend.

Is that $200 extra or total?

Here is the new update... The truck carrying the C-arm for delivery broke down in West Virginia... This is going to push the Roswell opening date back another week. Target date now is July 27-28 for opening.

I will keep you all updated.

      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.
