Hi Nic dr Singh did my surgery at Albany Medical Center on Wednesday 7-23-08 I am 58 and have been 3 years researching and deciding what procedure to have . I chose the banding and Dr Singh told me he has done hundreds he is the best and also a professor as well as a office at AMC Good luck . All my other doctors acknowledge him as the best . Don't wait as long as I did to make the decission

Hi I was banded by Dr Singh on Wednesday 7-23-08 . I spent years researching and deciding . You do have to jump thru all the hoops and you are well prepared for what's to come ,so it is a process . You can call his office at AMC for an appointment . Every Dr I have seen in the past 3 years says hes the best .

I also am going to Albany Medical Center Dr Singh. I am penciled in for December 29, 2008. I have 9lbs left to lose by 11/18/2008. I am excited but the last 9lbs don't want to come off. His office is terrific. :)

      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.
