Have you checked into Dakota Dunes? Apparently there is a doctor there that does the lap band so maybe that person will also do fills. Another place to check out is Mitchell SD. I didn't realize that they preform the lap band surgery there but I guess they do. I had my surgery done by Dr O'Brien 5 days ago.

Well, thanks Foolsrushin for the info! The staff at Dr. Fred Harris' office was very informed, helpful, and pleasant! And yes, that's a change from many of the offices I've called!! Also, yup, they do take medicare, they take Mexico bandsters, they're pretty inexpensive, and they do fills on Fridays! The nurse, Shiela, that I spoke with was also very knowledgeable and said to call them with questions/concerns any time! So, thanks for the "referral," if you will. :puke:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
