Dr. Burch is a wonderful doctor. I have never encountered a medical professional with a better bedside manner. He listens, he cares....he is absolutely charming in every way. I watched him carefully in a waiting room (I arrived 2 hours early for surgery) where he talked to spouses and families about their loved ones in surgery. Never once did I hear him speak in a condescending way, he never rushed or discredited any concern. He treated each person as if they were valued by him, my husband was very pleased also. Dr Burch sat and talked to my husband and made sure that he was comforted and answered all his questions. I had a lap band placed by Dr. Burch, even though I can't see the inside work he did, I can speak for the outside. My incisions are healing beautifully and even 13 days post surgery...I can see that my scars are going be minimal and nearly invisible. I feel good and prepared for my new journey. I trust him and admire him, I am soooo grateful he was the one that took care of me. I must add that his "fellow" Dr Rana was also very kind and helpful. Cedars has exceeded my expectations in care and pain management. Overall if I were to rate them in the hospitality (hotel) industry I would give them 7 stars. Everyone from the telephone switch board to the surgeons "Perfect, friendly service"...without question!

Dr. Burch is classy and kind, I would recommend him to anyone. I truly believe there is no one better than Dr. Burch.

Very good to hear! Dr Burch is doing my Lap Band on May 23rd, and so far I find him to be intellegent comforting and responsive. I am looking forward to him doing the surgery and being my doctor. He and my Mom even bonded over being from Boston.

      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.
