May 2, 2005 I had Adjustable Lap Band surgery at Sartori Hospital in Cedar Falls, Iowa . Dr Glascock is my Doctor and he is excellant. I have lost 71 lbs since April 19th as I was on a liquid diet before my surgery. I am so very glad I did the surgery.

I had surgery in Sioux City, IA, by Dr. Mike Wolpert. His office is in Dakota Dunes, SD, on the border of Iowa and South Dakota. He was WONDERFUL.

I have a friend that lives in Nebraska (I live in Colorado) that is going to be attending a seminar in Dakota Dunes (Dr. Wolpert). We have been looking for someone that has used him. I know it has been a while since your surgery but do you know what the cost is/was for self pay? Also, what's the cost for fill's, and what was your personal experience with the center?

Thanks for your help.

Thank you.

      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.
