Rhode Island fill clinics or local



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, my name is Danyal and I was banded on July 21st, 2008. Since then, I had lost about 25lbs. In october, I was supposed to get my second fill done, but moved back home to Rhode Island. So, my progress has been since put to a hault, and I just want o get back on the road. I live here in Rhode Island, and have been having trouble finding a good doctor (And affordable) to do my fills with. I was wondering if anyone on here knew of a great doctor local to rhode island that they wouldn't mind sharing with this lil' ol girl. Thanks for your time everyone, I really appreciate it!:thumbup:

Hello, I don't know any in the area...

But have you tried asking your original doc if they can recommend someone in the area? Or, find a local lap band support group (local hospitals should be able to help you find out) and then ask people at the group who they use, to get a feel for docs in the area..

I go to Dr Roye in Providence - he is OK - HATE Annette his secretary. It is a large office and they do a TON of bands and bypasses so if you see a different doc you may not have to deal with Annette. Bottom line I'm not a fan of the health care in RI and had been going to Lahey in MA for years but a switch in my health insurance this past Jan forced me to Roye - I had done all the pre-op in MA.

      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.
