Dr Schram did my lap band. He is a nice man, very brief and to the point. Wants out the door fast!! But he is an AWESOME surgeon, really knows his stuff, and you can always ask the staff what you want to know. I recommend him highly.

I adore Dr. Schram. He was my surgeon and does my fills. He's incredibly knowledgeable and is one of the best in the field. I highly recommend him. :tongue_smilie:

I am also being banded by Dr. Shram on Sept 10th. But I am confused, the clinic just called me today stating that they currently don;t use the Realize band but were expecting to come to a contract agreement with them soon. How were you able to get the Relaize Band???

I live in livingston County, banded in Mexico and I go to Dr. March at Hillsdale Surgical for my fills. He's really nice and so is everyone in his office. And it is only $110. for fills and my insurance pays for it.

      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.
