Hey there, I am supposed to have surgery with Dr. Wright also. I guess you are banded already? How are you doing? I have my last weight loss visit Monday 9/10/12.

I'm getting pretty nervous. I'd love to hear from someone who had surgery with my doctor. Thanks and take care :) -Kelly

I had surgery on December 11, 2012 with Dr. Wright. He is amazing. Vert professional and I can now barely see my scars. I go in every two weeks for fills until I am in the Green zone. They are very supportive and I never leave feeling like a failure. Great choice in doctors. Good Luck.

I had surgery with Dr.Carcamo and true results on Feb 5th. So far everying is going well, I have lost about 22 pounds since my pre-op diet. I would love to meet some more friends here! I went to support group meeting with TR, but there were only 3 of us there. I was slightly disappointed. I hope everyone else is doing great!

It's the second Wednesday of each month at 6pm. It's off Fredrickburg on datapoint

, I think you're referring to the same location. If you call the office they can put you on the email list so they can send you a reminder.

So far things are going as advertised, just need to stay with not rushing my meals and smaller bites. I have lost about 45lbs since surgery day March 20th.

Breakfast is my biggest problem. Things never go as planned.

      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.
