Hi Rhonda,

Where do you live? Resources vary considerably in different parts of the country, so no one can answer unless we have more information. Try posting your question in the state section for your state, and you might get answers from people in your area.

Good luck!

Hi Rhonda... I hope you find the right doc for your fills and wish you much success with your band! I have found that prices for fills vary widely... my surgeon charges 200.00 for private pay and the two surgeons in my hometown charge 75.00 per fill and they have a multiple fill pay option. It's a pretty simple procedure... usually takes a whole 5-10 minutes with my surgeon.

Hi!! My name is Elizabeth and am considering having my surgery in Mexico. I live in New Orleans, Louisiana and am wondering if anyone knows a physician that I may be able to do my fills? I would also like to hear about any experiences anyone has had with ther surgery being performed in Mexico.

      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.
