Dr. Felix Speigel did my band and he does fills in Orange, TX. Most Louisiana patients I know go to him as he has done thousands of surgeries and last time I got a fill it was $100 (no fluoroscopy).

i am going to be banded in Mexico...Querry will not do fills on the Realize band, so I am looking for another doctor now...Location is key for me because I am in rural Texas...I will probably end up going to Eijsink (sp?) cause she is closest to me. (2 1/2 hour drive)

I know of 2 in the Monroe/Calhoun LA ( Northeast Louisiana) area..Dr Walter Sartor(Louisiana Weight Loss Clinic) and Rita Zuber..Dr Sartor did my band and after 3 fills with him (b/c included in what I paid) I will use Rita Zuber...she's banded herself and I think alittle cheaper!!!

      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.
