Hi Joe,

Yes, I was in great hands. lol I had the surgery this past Feb. When did you have your surgery? I have lost 80lbs and the staff at Mercy and at the office has been amazing. Do you go to the attend the monthy support groups? If not you should. You should join the thread "Mentors" I have gotten most of my daily support from the people on this thread. They have become like an extended familiy and we have set up weekends throughout the year that we get together and meet at different places throughout the US.

dr. holover is not as good as you think he openly states he is only interested in making money does not provide adeguate follow up. he is basically a used car sales person for lapbands he is abrasive and not compassionate toward patients. The office staff is rude and unprofessional as soon as you have a problem everyone is nice until then and trust me if you get a lapband you will eventually have some sort of complication these are not meant to stay in for life. The measure of a good dr is how he behaves under pressure or when there is a problem not just when he is trying to sell you a lapband. Dr. is anGRY PERSON WHO ACTUALLY THROUGH A TANTRUM! I was scammed by him too and had to learn the hard way. Dr. has malpractice hx date 4/10/12

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
