I am going thru them as well. I am out of the Austin location. They have been awesome so far. My surgery was May 17th and I get my first fill in 3 weeks. Dr Esquivel was my surgeon and I have heard he also works out of SA.

Good Luck Katwomantx

Hey Kitty,

I know I am SO excited. I am using Dr. Hollis. I have not met him yet, my first pre-op appt is Mon June 20, but he has like 25 years experience. I hope all goes well for you. Let me know how it goes, we are being banded like 2 weeks apart.

Hi Michael,

I've heard nothing but good things about Dr. Hollis. When you're doing pre-op I will probably be in the OR!! We might even pass each other on the way in or out!!

Let's stay in touch!

      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.
