I am currently in the process of trying to book with DR Mitchell in Vancouver, I have a friend that was banded by him and she said he was excellent, very kind and very understanding. Good luck on your journey!

Dr Mitchell is great and the staff at SWLC work hard to make surgery a good experience. Dr Phil (aka Dr Mitchell) was recommended to me by my family doctor (she did her surgical residency with him) and said he is a very good surgeon. My family doctor was also really impressed with my post-surgical scars (she said Dr Phil did a very good job). I have seen him once since surgery and he is personable and answered all my questions. I will be seeing him next week for another follow-up and I look forward to the visit. I hope this answers your questions.

      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.
