Got my band date....



Recommended Posts

I've been reading and researching for a long time now and have finally got my surgery date. Feb 28th with Dr. Kuri. I've been planning all along to go back to Kuri for my fills. But, now I'm a little hesitant because, I keep hearing about all these erosions and I think it would be best to have someone local. It seems to be real slim pickings for Dr's here. Can you wonderful Oregonians give me some ideas as for Dr's.

Thanks so much...

Hey Tacee, I live in Harrisburg, and my doctor is Steven Tersigni in Coos Bay. It is a little drive but no traffic. Great doctor, wonderful office staff and his PA is wonderful.:)

I looked back in an earlier thread and saw that Dr. Hong is with Patterson. She gives a firm, resounding NO with regard to giving fills to anyone she didn't do the surgery on. I had checked with her 8 or so months ago. So . . Hong is probably the same, but I'll check if I find his number somewhere.

      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.
