Just wondering is it a private practice? Does he have nursing staff that could give u a fill? IDK if you have had any yet but for me the whole visit is less than 5min

Hi Tym... It's Strax rejuvenation in Florida, it's more of a plastic surgery center and my doctor is the only bariatric Md there. He's such a busy man... My visits are also 5 min and I always feel like I'm being rushed out. I have had 1 fill of 2.5cc so far. He's a great doc but MAN he's hard to come by! Keeps going out of town:(

That seems crazy to me. My doctor has the nurse practioners give the fills so they are easier to get appointments with. Could you try calling and asking if there are any cancellations? I got several of my fill appointments that way; people often cancel on Fridays. They don't want to do liquids on the weekend!

Very true Honk... I will call tomorrow.

I know it's crazy, he's a one man show.

Thanks!

      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.
