Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum, Denver Colorado - Lapband of the Rockies.

Still $9,950 for everything, including first three months of fills. Fills after that are $30. And if you go in and don't get a fill, you don't get charged anything. He's fantastic :)

I'm in Canada so probably not relevant to you but you might be interested anyways...I went to the Slimband clinic in Toronto. It was 16K (lap band isn't covered by insurance here at all, I don't think), but that includes everything and unlimited fills.

Lannae, I am going to Dr Ortiz on May 11. Are the fills free for life through him???? Also how are you doing since the surgery. I think we chatted before on this. You are from Alberta too right??

      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.
