Where To Get Fill In Missouri?



Recommended Posts

Greetings All:

I am new to the group. I was banded 3yrs ago in Toronto Canada where I was living at the time. I live in Lewiston, NY which is very close to the border & I just go over whenever a fill is needed. I will be moving from NY to MO very soon & I was wondering where could I get a fill. I checked with a Dr.Christopher Edwrds in Sprinfield, MO, however, he's only does his patients. I was also wondering what is the cost of having a fill? All fills are FREE in Canada after the surgery,however, I have been reading that they are charging for them in the states.

All answers will be appreciated!!!

Thanks Again

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!! :--)

I had my surgery done at the Bariatric Center of Kansas City. Their fills runs about $300.00 for their patients. It is really a good organization - very supportive - if you are not too far from KC, I think I would give them a call. You can also google them - phone 913-677-2508. I am using Dr Hoehn.

      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.
