Dr Brad Watkins Uc Health Cincinnati, Oh



Recommended Posts

Was banded by Dr Brad Watkins May 25,2012. I live in NE Indiand an hour north of Fort Wayne IN. When I was researching where to go I did alot of watching YouTube videos , obisity help.com you name it I was reading. I knew that I had a doctor in fort Wayne IN an hour south of me to preform the surgery so I went to the semiar and filled out all the insurance info. Well that's as far as I got with the fort Wayne location after months emails and calling the office NOTHING! I knew my insurance covered the surgery so I felt at a loss with comunation with Fort wayne. back to square one for a office that has better Comunniaton skills and cares. End result called Dr Watkins and guess what they answered the phone. And got me approved right away didn't waste any time and I didn't have to beg them to keep moving (heads up to Diana that handles insurance at UC Health weight loss LOVE her) I was told 6 month supervised diet by MY insurance company then I can have the lap band started 6 month diet December 2011 and guess what May 25 2012 I was banded. Sorry to ramble but all I have to say is I Love everyone I came in contact with at UC Health weight loss center and would tell anyone it's 110% worth the drive or fly to this office. Also Dr Watkins is very aggressive to get you to your sweet spot with your band. Another BIG Plus is everyone that works for Dr Watkins had been banded so from the girl who answers the phone to anyone they know how you feel and can answer your questions! If you have any questions please contact me .

I totally agree with everything you said. Dr. Watkins did my surgery 1/27 and I have been very pleased with the results.

The office staff is fabulous and the whole thing has been such a blessing. I am down 50 pounds and really looking forward to summer.

Best of luck to you in your journey :)

      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.
