Illinois Fill Centers????



Recommended Posts

When I went for my 1st fill with Dr. Shayani; I was required to pay the $500 initial fee and then a seperate fee for the fills - I mentioned that, because I read in an above quote that you'd need to pay this fee if you had your surgery out of the country... I had mine in Detroit.

This doctor has an awesome bedside manner and provides excellent guidance. I've had several fills with him. The problem for me is that my fills only work a couple of days afterwards. It could be because I tense up during my visits and fill like I can't take in the full amount that he might want to give?

He tells me I need to visit for fills more often than I do. Now I am unable to get an appointment for weeks ~~ I am seeking another fill doctor who has more than one day per week open for fills. If not, I will continue trying to eat smaller amounts until I can get an appt.

You certainly have many choices of doctors out there, but will be hard to find such a caring doctor as Dr Shayani. I dont know where you see him, but his Bolingbrook office can usually get you in the same week for an appointment. Best of luck :thumbup:

Yes, as I stated... he provides the very best of care.

Thanks for the tip... perhaps I'll try his Boilingbrook office.

Althought the only time I could make it there is on an off day or on a weekend.

Again, thank you so much for the tip.

      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.
