Dr. Jeff Allen - Anyone used Dr. Allen?



Recommended Posts

I was recommended to use him for my Lap-Band surgery . . . anyone have any experience with him?

I attended his seminar at Norton & he seemed very personable.

I am about to have my lap band surgery the first week of March with Dr. Allen. Both of my parents have had the lap band surgery with Dr. Allen and so far my experience with him and especially his office and support staff has been wonderful. I would reccommend Dr. Allen for sure!

Good Luck!

Dr allen is my dr he is great. My surgery went great and the after care was good.I love his office staff they are so freindly. I have had my band since nov 23, 2009 and have lost a total of 39 pounds. He told me today to keep doing whatever I was doing cause I'm losing great. I do have episods of pbing if I dont eat slow. slow Beans baby bites and let it actually go down before taking more bites. after my fills I have to do liquids sometimes for a week because of the swelling. Then after a week i can go back to solids slowly. I have 5.5cc in my lapband. I exercise everday, I use the treadmill for 1 hour and half. I plan to join a gym hopefully next month so I can use other equipment in the gym. I would like to tone up as I lose more weight. My goal is to lose 40 more pounds by the first of August. I hope to here from others who have dr allen.

      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.
