Recommended Posts

Do any of you know of a doctor who will do fills in SA? I had my surgery in Monterrey Mexico and it has been hard finding a doctor to do my fills. Please help!!

If I lived in San Antonio, I would drive to Acuna (3 hours) or go on one of the "fill trips" with my doc's assistant Barbara, and have Dr. Jose Rodriguez fill me. I've returned one time to him and was very pleased with the price (I think it's 100 including the fluro) and his method. I live too far away or would have gone back to him for my other fills, as well. Some from my area (Dallas/Fort Worth) are going to him in June on one of the "fill trips". You can also shop in Mexico while you are there. You can contact Barbara at JoseBand

Right on! For $130, you can get chauffer driven to the appointment by someone who is extremely knowledgeable of banding, join with other bandsters and get some shopping done, not to mention the best fill around, with fluoro and using the standing method. I wish I lived in S.A.!

A friend of mine went to New Dimensions here in San Antonio... medical information and she had the bypass done by the doctors there in Feb... When I checked it out they do the lap-band... I'm just starting on the lap-band road on May 26th with my first seminar... I checked the doctors out and they are highly rated... Hope that helps

Yes, but do they do fills for people banded in Mexico? Do the use fluoro? Do they do the standing method? So many questions! :)

      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.
