Again, thanks for all of this info. I have scheduled my surgery for 10/30 with Dr. K in Colorado for $9900. I'm a little nervous about needing to travel back so far for fills and worried that facilities here in Chicago will turn me down for these - or will charge way too much!

I got a detailed message today from Greate Lakes Weight Center in Michigan - who charges $10700 with everything included, plus overnight stay. Says they are able to schedule me withing two weeks. But, they want $500 to hold a surgery date. I'm skeptical of this and need to do some BBB research, etc.

If I was convinced of getting local fills at a reasonable price - I wouldn't consider them as much - but, they closer to home. Also, they've changed their name from something else and I don't understand why.

Dr. John Groves done mine a week ago for 15,500.00 So far, its been worth every penny. He also had to repair my hernia at no additional charge. My surgery was done late that evening and I went home next morning 10:00 a.m. Wonderful doctors and they also accept carecredit....who could afford that without it?? LOL Oh yeah, He is located in North East Alabama (Albertville) email me for more info if interested. :cool2:

      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.
