Hi there! I'm in Keller and will be banded on 10/19 by Dr. Marsden. I went through "lap band solutions" in Hurst - I'm very excited and very nervous. I started the pre-op diet today. Needless to say, I'm already starving - haha!

I'm in Keller also. I started with AIGB(lapband solutions) but they had my insurance info wrong. Because I had already had a band, they wanted me to have a consult with my doctor first. When at that appt, I talked to the insurance lady, so agreed about my insurance, that "fast tracked me"!! Good luck!!

Dr. Smith did my band on August 15 at the Specialty Surgery Center in Hurst. He is fabulous and I love his staff, they have been wonderful. I email Suzee with what I feel could simply be the silliest questions, but she is always been patient answering any question I have. Dr. Smith did my first fill on Sept 14, and it didn't feel anywhere near as bad as some people acted it out to be.

Their entire staff is awesome!! I thought fills were easy, I don't remember them hurting at all.

No pain, I mean there is a little prick for the needle, but it doesn't hurt. There are people who will play it up for sympathy and try to scare you... Dr. Smith is so gentle, I cannot wait to see him again :-)

Hello, my name is Genia. I live about 2.5 hrs from dallas. I had my surgery done in Mexicali by Dr. Aceves, but will probably try and find a dr. in the Dallas area to do my fills. Just because i cant go back to mexicali that ooften, although they are AWSOME!!!!

I was just banded on Oct 1st..

Any suggestions on Dr. who will do self pay fills for people that have been banded by other dr.

and the what they charge?

Thanks

Genia

You might want to check on fill centers USA, to see if there are any close to you. There are very few doctors who will fill patients banded in Mexico. You also could try called lapband solutions and see if they have a referral name for you.

Good luck!

I am self-paying my fills right now during this transition time between insurance. At the Specialty Surgery Center in Hurst, TX it costs $150 and they do it with flouro. There is almost zero waiting, and you are on the table less than three minutes. They are great! But I can't wait for our new insurance to kick in on November 1, because I surely don't want to pay for them if I don't have to!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
