Anyone Banded at MISH in Lenexa, Ks



Recommended Posts

My name is Rick. I am 35 yrs old and was banded on April 20, 2010 at MISH or also known as The Institute for Bariatric Surgery. Just wondering how many more of Dr K and Dr S patients are out there.

Dr. K was my surgeon - My surgery date was June 6, 2006. I now live in Colorado Springs (for the past 5 years) and finally got around to finding a new doc here a few weeks ago (I was seriously procrastinating!!).

Never had any problems, but when I went to the new guy, he asked many questions that I had no answers for. Apparently, most people know these things, but no one ever shared any of it with me at MISH. He asked what kind of band I have, how much it holds, how much is in it now, how much was an average fill, etc. I had no idea. He also did my first office fill - at MISH all of them were fluoroscopic. It never occurred to me that I should know all of those things, so I never asked, and no one ever volunteered the information. I would suggest asking questions so you are not in the dark.

      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.
