I'm a big fan of my doctors' office, which has a team of surgeons and a great support system. Check them out at www.advancedlaparoscopicsurgeons.com. They work out of Morristown Memorial Hospital.

There are also programs at Chilton Hospital, Hackensack Medical Center, and others farther south. Where are you located?

Hi!

Are you in North Jersey or South? I live in Cherry Hill Nj, but I'm having my surgery over the river at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Its an easy drive and I have had a wonderful experience so far. The Dr's names is Dr. Noel Williams.

Do any of them do fills to and if so will they accomodate bands done in Mexico? I have a doctor but I think she does blind non barium swallow fills and that scares the behoosefat out of me (yes, I made that word up).

I don't know if my doctors' office will do fills for patients other than their own, but I don't see why not. They welcome other patients to their support groups. However, I imagine they'd only be willing to do Inamed bands, since that's the kind they're expert in. But to be sure, go ahead and give them a call! Can't hurt to ask. See the link in my post above for their website and contact information. :cool:

      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.
