Call Stephany Casey at Dr.Benavides office in Dallas , they may be able to find a Dr.or call the ASBS (american society of bariatric and metabolic surgeons.)

Hate that for you. I'm sure there are dozens if not hundreds of docs in the state of NY that do these fills along w/ Botox parties.

Look in your local paper for those 'free seminars' on weight loss surgeries. Then look in the yellow pages, ask your primary care, the closest medical hospital or college medical center.

Don't let people fool you into "oh, we don't take patients banded by other docs" We live in a mobile society!

Not sure which part of upstate you are, but Dr. Singh ((518) 262-0942) is in Albany and there is a program at Ellis Hospital in Schenectady, too. Hope that helps.

      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.
