Fills for Mexico Pts.



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to mention my fill doctor, Dr. Garwood. I was banded in Mexico and he does my fills. He is really great and so is his staff. He is in College Station which is a hike for me but worth it. (I am in Austin) I know those of us badned outside the US are always looking for options. Just thought I would throw this one out. I will recieve no coompensation or anything for this referral. Just trying to be helpful. Someone through LBT gave me his name originally.

THANK GOODNESS!

His number: (979) 485-0395

The Dr. is great. In fact, last time I was there he spoke about opening a clinic with Dr. Ortiz and Martinez. Isn't that crazy?

La Madam, I am doing great today. I wish I had a little more restriction since my last fill (THurs) but this may be the one. I feel good! Really good. Thanks so much for asking. I hope you are doing well also.

      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.
