Hi Dawn... you might want to post your question under the fills and Doctors heading... might be more likely to get some ideas. I am from Oshkosh WI and my Doctor is Doctor Thomas Chua... the other Surgeon's in my area would be Dr. Georgen and Wasco. You might want to find the closest surgeon to you that does bariatric surgery. http://obesityhelp.com has a surgeon finder... that might help you out. Good Luck!

Dawn,

I had my surgery in Mexico too and fortunately found a doctor in Menomonee Falls that would do fills. However, he said he is no longer taking new patients because he has found that those of us who have their surgeries done in Mexico don't get any counseling and while they (the Mexican doctors) are the ones making all the money, he is the one having to "deal" with our problems and answer all the questions that they should have dealt with before we ever had surgery. I went to Dr. Chua in Milwaukee for a pre-surgery consultation but he was about $300 a fill. Have you had your surgery yet? Dr. Chua will only do fills on other doctor's patients when he can see them pre-op. There was another one I looked into in Chicago. I couldn't tell you his name right now, but I'll find it if you're interested.

Good luck,

Dr. Chua has reduced his price to 200.00 per fill for private pay but like Leannie said... he requires that you see him prior to going to Mexico if he is to do your fills. I do not think that Dr, Wasco in Neenah requires that. They charge a consult fee of approximately 119.00 and then 75.00 per fill for private pay.

      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.
