Recommended Posts

I have just went for my consult with a second dr and he is willing to use all my medical records from the previous dr. But i would like to know if there is anyone out there that has used this man and how he was on a proffesional level. Thank you all so much

Hi - I don't have Dr. Angstadt but I do use someone in the same office. Dr. Garber. I am really happy with their office. The hospital (Mercy) was great.

It is such a personal choice though. I have read so many reviews on here that were not happy with Garber and didn't like NY Bariatric Group office at all. I, on the other hand, am very happy. The office is busy. There is usually a wait, I don't mind that. I get some time to read! :lol: They are very nice and friendly to me. The PA I see (Donna) is pretty agressive with fills and takes the time to sit with me and answer my questions. I have never had an issue with insurance or billing.

I know it didn't really answer your question but hope it helped a little! :)

I have been researching doctors and I have heard Dr. Ahmad is the most experienced doctor in the area with the most professional bed side manner. I knew 2 people who went for the Bypass and have been completely satisfied with their program.

I am going through the NY Bariatric Group...I havent been banded yet but I have nothing but good things to say about them. My Dr is Spencer Holover and he is just such a nice man. I am really looking forward to further visits with them. Does anyone know of the other locations for NYBG ?

      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.
