Fill doctors in San Francisco Bay Area?



Recommended Posts

Anyone know of a doctor in the SF Bay Area who does fills? I had my surgery done by Dr. Alceves in Mexicali (it was a great experience, btw; I would send my mother to him) and while he does adjustments essentially for free, you first have to make your way to San Diego. I'd like to find someone closer to home. All of the obvious candidate doctors, such as those listed on the official Lap-Band and Realize Web sites, either don't do them at all for "oustiders", or else charge a big chunk of change. (One office quoted me $450 an adustment, or a year's worth for $2,000.) I'd love to know of alternatives here in Northern California. Thanks for any tips or leads anyone might provide.

      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.
