Montgomery, AL doctors?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any recommendations for doctors in the Montgomery area? I found Dr. Mora in Prattville, but so far no one has returned my call. Dr. DeWitt in Birmingham has responded, but Prattville is closer. Has anyone used either Dr. Mora or Dr. DeWitt, and if so, would you recommend either one? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I live in Montgomery and found no doctors in Montgomery that still do the lapband. I did find Dr Mora in Prattville. It took a few calls before I was able to get information from their office. Before they see you, you have to sign up and attend a seminar. The soonest I could get to a seminar was a 1.5 months away.

I ended up going to Dr DeWitt in Birmingham. I need to see the nutrionist before insurance will approve me. They have been very good with everything. I had to attend the seminar 1st here also, but only had to wait 2 weeks. Alot of the tests that I need done, I was able to schedule thru my PCP in Montgomery. Some you cannot .. ie Psych exam, and nutritionist, the Pre-op consult and the initial consult.

I live in Calera, and used Cahaba Valley Surgical in Alabaster. I used Dr. Sherer, and was banded last month. I have also heard of many people using Dr. Christopher. They operate at Shelby Baptist.

      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.
