Fill Doctors In Western South Dakota, MT, WY



Recommended Posts

Good morning! I am new to the site but have found all of your threads to be extremelly helpful and encouraging. I have also gotten many ideas from your journeys. I am to be banded by Dr.Kuri on 3/29/08 and am ready as ever. The question I have is related to fills. I live in a small town in Wyoming (on the border of South Dakota and Montana) and the closest cities are Spearfish, SD, Rapid City, SD, Gillette, WY, Sheridan, WY or Billings, MT. I am wondering if anyone knows of physicians in any of those cities a or local areas that offer fills? Any help is appreciated.

I don't know who Dr. Kuri is...is he local to you? I live in Buffalo, WY, and I was banded in Greeley,Colorado by Dr. Johnell. I drive down there for my fills and check ups; it's about 4.5 hours from Buffalo. There is no one in Sheridan, Gillette, or Billings, as far as I know. There are some bariatric surgeons in Billings, but I think they are just doing bypasses. I even have a home in Bozeman, and there is no one there, Missoula, or Great Falls, that I can find. SO, it's to Greeley for me!! I am pretty sure there is a lapband doc in Scottsbluff, NE. Maybe you could go there. I'd also keep checking Rapid City; I would think there should be someone there. By the way, my parents live in Aladdin, too!!! HAHAHA. My sis lives in Spearfish.

Thank you so much for your reply, that will help and I have family that lives in Castle Rock so I could make the trip to denver without any problems. Dr. Kuri is in Mexico, I am going there for the surgery due to cost and insurance not covering any of it but would like to get fills locally. Your weight loss is amazing and I would love to keep in touch with someone close. Such a small world once you start to get out there!!

      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.
