Hi - Wondering if there are any recent bandsters who have used Dr. Rehnke. I ran some searches and it looks like they are several yrs out on here.

Would love to talk to someone who is familiar with him and Palms of Pasadena hospital.

TIA!

Hello: I posted to your other post. Hubby just had his surgery Oct. 21 I am next. We both have Dr Rehnke. He is top notch. He is so kind and understanding. His staff is wonderful to work with. Many of them have had the band themselves, like Sue kay and Chaz. The support before and after is outstanding. Please join us at the support meeting Thrs from 6:30 to 7:30. You can meet many people who have used all the different dr's and had all the different procedures done. Everything is so supportive. I am Donna and I live in PP. I hope we see you there.

I'm having my surgery with Dr. Jessee at Palms of Pasadena on 11/22. She's awesome too . Dr Rehnke was in on my mom's spine surgery, he's good.

There are a few who have gone with them- I opted for Dr Aguila, Everybody's happy from what I've heard all this time, I just wanted to use a Dr near my job. (tampa), even though I live in Pinellas CTY.

      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.
