I just called the doctor's office, and he won't do fill's for anyone banded in Mexico.

Just FYI

Help!

Does anyone know of a fill doctor in Texas, preferably Houston area, that will do fills for Mx. patients?

I need to know very quickly...I would drive anywhere at this point.

Thanks!!

I have two numbers and one of them is in Houston. I'm in the Dallas area and was given these numbers. I know they both do patients banded in Mexico and the price was $150. I'll give you both numbers and you can call them to see which is in Houston.

Wish Center 888-870-9474

Dr. Marvin 800-664-9177

If these don't work, I have several in the Dallas area that will do it.

Beware those who don't do bands but feast on the harvest of opportunity (banded patients in need.) If these people don't know the band well, they can do more harm than good... just my 2 cents..

I am also from the Houston area but am not quite ready for a fill yet (with in the next 3 weeks). Therefore, will probably need to go ahead and schedule with someone soon (banded in Mexico). Leatha, you message above scares me....how am I gonna know if the Dr. I schedule with will be a good one?..

Any thoughts?

Thanks!............Cyndi

      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.
