I don't know if fluro is a must. But I see Cyndi Rice at Health and Wellness in Pocatello. She works closely with Ortiz; she had her surgery with Ortiz and so did I. She charges $175 but doesn't use flouro.

Thank you so much. There is a Dr Davis in Blackfoot at Bingham Medical Center and Idaho falls of Pocotello would be perfect for me the only other is in Salt Lake city 5 hours away.... I am just afraid without floro cause I have heard such nightmares about Dr. poking holes in the tubes of the ports.... and leakage and I just freak out. Needles scare me. Thank you for your replies... I will check it all out. Hanna

      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.
