HI everyone,

I would recommend Dr. Stephanie Eijsink in Bryan. She is banded herself, banded in Mexico, does it with fluro--cost is $200.00 per fill. She only does them on Saturday and does them one weekend in Bryan and the next in Tyler. She is awesome. She does the fills standing up and numbs the port area.

Bryan is quite a hop skip and a jump from AUSTIN ! LOL

:) I know it is Mindy!!!! But she is so good I just wanted you to know about her, it is about an hour away from you! I know her being banded herself makes a difference in her patient care and it shows...she really listens and you don't have to convince her you need a fill, she knows we know 99% of the time when we need a fill. She has patients that come from Louisiana, Oklahoma and other states for their fills. Hard to tell I like her isn't it? I should be doing PR work for her!

LMAO I was just messing with you . I drive 45 mintues from Buda to San Antonio for my doc. Is Bryan only an hour from here ? I thought it was closer to 2 ?

I feel the same about my doc ! It is a plus she's banded though, that's awesome !

Thanks for the info in this thread.

It's good to know there are a few options in the Austin area. Finding a fill doctor in a new area sounds like a real pain in the a$$!

We're hoping to move there once we can sell our house. (without taking a loss - stupid real estate market!)

Feel free to tell me wonderful things about your area as well - lol

I was just in for my 5th fill yesterday in Austin at the True Results Weight Loss Center. The nurse is Amy Pope and she is wonderful with the fills. The cost is $100.00. Please give them a call. 610-1660.

True Results will take anyone that had the lap band in the USA. They will not take patients from Mexico. You will need documentation from your surgeon and there will be no problem. By the way, Amy Pope, the nurse that gives you the fill has the lap band. I looks like almost all of the people that work there have had it. It is really a great place to have your fills done. If you need a fluro. they call someone in and you have to request it. I do not know how much that costs.

They WONT take patients from Mexico ? I dont need it for me but others. Just to clarify . Some people who were banded in Mexico do have the documentation , med records ect. So Im confused. IF YOU have that info will they fill you ?

Just trying to clarify .

Thanks

I just got a call back from Dr. Patel office that is in San Antonio. The nurse told me they will be coming to Austin now. I have a fill scheduled for Jan. 29th. The cost is $225 with a 7 day window on going back for adjustments. Not to bad on the price. I asked her if they take Mexico patients and she said yes. Has anyone been to Dr. Patel? What is your feedback.

I use the True Results with Amy Pope doing my fills. I like the Flo(whatever) better than the let's fish around for your port fill. This is the center that I did all of my pre req with to be banded. I know almost all of the staff and they are great..... You should give them a call.....

      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.
