I went to their office. I was banded by Dr. Fiallo on Oct. 5th. Today I had my first fill. I am down 42 pounds total, 22 since surgery. I feel great. I like them.

Hi-I have Dr. Haag. He gives the best fills. I have never had a twinge of pain. I had my surgery on 7/13 and have lost 50 lbs, I am happy with my choice. They also have a great lapband support group. I have heard positive about both docs, but more frequently for Haag. Good luck-let me know if you have other questions.

Hi,

I am new to this web site, and not too sure about how it works yet. I am a patient of Dr. Haag, and had my surgery Nov. 2008, I have since lost 65lbs. Dr. Haag was wonderful right from the start, and now I only see him once in a while for a fill. I have had 6 fills, and they have all been very easy. This is the best thing I ever did, and I am very happy I found the doctor that I did!:blink:

He is great! I have lost 155 pounds. His fills never hurt and he always seems to get them right where they need to be. Gotta love him!

Hello everyone. My name is Renee and I had my first consult with Dr. Fiallo in May. I have already gone through all the necessary steps for surgery and my follow-up is on August 31st. Then, hopefully, I will have a date for surgery. So far I am pleased with them. The support groups are wonderful. I wish everyone the best of luck on their journey.

      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.
