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:

      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.
