Hi I am seriously considering having lap band surgery next year but, am still undecided on which surgeon. I actually hav worked with quite a few surgeons which is making the decision even harder!!! Sometimes ignorance is bliss!!!!!! I am leaning towards justin Bessell or Paul Anderson. Any feedback on any of the surgeons would be greatly appreciated, Thanks :thumbup:

I had my band done nearly 3 weeks ago by Prof Toouli at FPH. I was very pleased with everything. He was recommended to me several years ago by a girl i worked with.

I was originally going to go with Dr Bessell but switched to Dr Lilian Kow, she is amazing, the entire team at Circle of Care is just inspirational. I have a follow up appointment tomorrow i am 15 months post surgery and with anything they are helpful.

I have had a few set backs but regardless the team is just wonderful. Im looking forward to the appointment tomorrow.

Good Luck with your choice.

Hi thanks all for your feedback! After some more research and chatting with some of my friends I have an appointment with Mr Leong in early November and will see how that all goes!

Thanks again and good luck to everyone on their journey!

      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.
