fill doctors in Utica/Syracuse area



Recommended Posts

Hi!

I recently had surgery in April (in Mexico) and I'm trying to find a fill doctor in the Utica/Syracure area that will accept me even if they didn't band me. Any suggestions?

Thank You,

noodleliz

Are you from Nebraska? IF so check with Dr. Taddeucchi or Dr. Hung. They do fills at the Nebraska Surgery Center. 70th and J st in Lincoln.

If you're not from Nebraska...diregard this messge.

I don't mean to be negative, non-supportive or any of that other stuff....but I have a question. Why did you not research this before surgery?

But, more importantly, what is your plan if you can't find someone?

My suggestion would be to call the local hospitals and medical associations to ask for referrals and start making those phone calls.

Best of luck to you both.

If all else fails and you can't find a Lap Band surgeon in the area that does fills, you can always come to Rochester, NY and get your fills here. I know it's a bit of a trip, but it's not too bad, and I know of at least 2 doctors that do fills here.

I was banded in Boston and will be getting 2 fills here (in Rochester) during the summer months before I go back to Boston to resume my studies in the fall, so it's definitely an option here.

Good luck!

      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.
