I had my first fill about 2 weeks ago and have no restriction. My second fill isn't for 3 weeks. Does anyone know if Dr. K in Aurora, Colorado lets you schedule an earlier appointment for a fill or do I have to wait the month?

Hi there, Is Dr. K his full name? I have heard of Dr. Kirsenbom or something like that. I was banded by Dr. Brown in Denver. I too have one fill with no restriction and have only lost 1 lb so far. I called for an earlier appt for my second fill. The doctor is great, the nurses are great, the hospital was great but the receptionist (Cheryl) is the worst. She seems to be on a power trip and when I called she didn't even check to see if there were any earlier appt. she just said in a very snippy voice that there were no appointments. Dr. Brown only likes to do fills once a month but I think his nurses will be a little more agressive if you ask them to. I will be anxious to hear if you can get a fill earlier from Dr. K. I know it is really important to your success to get fills in a timely fashion so as not to get discouraged. Please keep us posted. My 2nd fill is next week Aug 20th.

Yes Dr. K is Kirshenbaum, I called the office and spoke to Mary, she scheduled me an appointment for this Thursday afternoon. Although Dr. K won't be in he has additional staff that are capable of doing the fill. The staff at his office are very helpful.

Thanks for inputs.

Mim

      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.
