I also just found out that Dr. Ren in NYC will do follow up on Mexican bands as well as anyone with a Sweedish band. Exciting news as that opens up options for type of banding.

Hi Magster and Sheeanisland,

Do you know how much Dr. Rn and Dr. Fielding charge MX patients for a fill? Thanks for your help and good luck with your bands!

New York City? I can't recommend Dr. Kurian highly enough. Her website is Manhattan Minimally Invasive and Bariatric Surgery, New York City - Lenox Hill Hospital Bariatric Program all of her contact information is on there. There is also Dr. Ren, who is supposed to be wonderful.
Don't forget hubby Dr Fielding .....he too has the band.........great choice..

<p>I have been seeing Dr. Shah at Lenox Hill. All of the pre op stuff has been great. Just the usual insurance nonsense. My surgery is Monday 10/22...Wish me luck!</

<p>In researching my choice of Dr. Ren at NYU for my surgery, Jan.21, they told me that sometimes insurance doesn't cover fills, and that her charge is $100 each time.</p>

Dr. Kurian is now at NYU Medical Center as well.

If you can make it out to Syosset, Long Island ( not even an hours drive from Manhattan ) I highly recommend Dr.Alan Geiss at North Shore Long Island Jewish in Syosset. He banded me a month ago, and I'm down 22 pounds. The man is an artist and a pioneer. The hospital, his office, his staff, and support team is nothing but fantastic. This was my first surgery ever, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. See his site at Laparoscopic Surgery in Long Island – LAP BAND® Surgery for the New York Area . P.S. This hospital is a smaller specialty type setting, specifically geared towards bariatric surgery. I give it 5 stars!!! Please let me know if you contact them! Frank

      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.
