LisaBen Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I am scheduled for my surgery October 3rd. I'm flying down with my husband on October 2. I can't wait! I'm starting my pre-surgery diet tomorrow. Lisa B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittycat Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Congratulations on making this decision and getting your surgery date!!! Good luck on your pre-op diet, it's challenging but you can do it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momonamission Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 It is not the easy way out. I think some people go into it with the wrong frame of mind. But if you want a new and better life and you are willing to put some work into it...the band will help you. I would have quit any diet by now and I am going strong. The fills are key. Make sure you budget your fills because without them you are just flying solo. Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any clue how much fills cost? I've checked their website but of course it's not posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dontondan Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Good for you on getting a head-start with your pre-op! I did the same thing and was lost more than I needed and when I talked to Dr. Miranda about a week before surgery she let me do Subway for lunches every day....that was such a treat. Just keep in touch with Dr. Miranda and let her know how your progress is during the pre-op. This will also give you incentive for post-band and pre-fill as you don't lose much during this time. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ackovach Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I live near Atlanta,Georgia and there is a fill center here. I plan on going there. Any clue how much fills cost? I've checked their website but of course it's not posted. Hi Lisa, I live in Johns Creek, formerly Alpharetta.... I will be going to the Roswell Fill Center USA office on 9/13 for my 1st fill. Many people on this forum use this office and have wonderful things to say. From what I remember, all of the fills are under fluoroscope. The first one is 585 and 285. This is in the ballpark, but I can not find the exact charges...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
