Changing Doctors



Recommended Posts

I called Dr. V's office yesterday. Having already done all of my preliminaries, Stephanie said I could potentially be scheduled for surgery very quickly, maybe within weeks.

Dr. K's office e-mailed me stating they still did not have an update for me. I went ahead and told them I was going to pursue Lap-Band through another physician. Dr. K e-mailed me back personally, and was VERY gracious, stating -

Karen,

I am sorry we could not get things arranged for you. I think you are an excellent candidate for the lap band and are going to very well.

If you ever have any questions or problems, please do not hesitate to contact us. Best of luck.

I bet you'll get a date very soon. My GF got approved and had a date within a week. They called her yesterday and she's starting her liquids tomorrow. So I'm sure things will go quick for you.

I'm excited for you!

Karen, you have been so patient. I was kind of wondering when you'd decide to change docs. Kuwada sounds like a lovely person, but to have to wait so long for a date is so discouraging. I know you are anxious to get moving again. Good for you. He'll have a nice Lap Band practice when he gets it moving. But you need to get moving, too!! I'm sure we'll be hearing good news soon, and a DATE for you! Woooot!

I'm sorry things didn't work out with dr. K's office, but you will really like Dr. V. I liked him. You have more patient than I ever was. Like angie said, hopefully you will have a date or be banded by our March meeting. Lookout summer, here comes sabre in her bathing suit ;)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
