For those of you who are using Dr. Hollis... I have a question. I was just thinking about it and realized that I've never actually had any appointments with the DOCTOR. Since I had my EGD (the only time I saw him briefly) and found out that I did indeed have a hernia, I've been in for pre-op testing (bloodwork, EKG), but everything else has been done through my patient advocate. I won't even see Dr. Hollis again until I actually go in for surgery. Is this normal for self-pay? At my initial visit, I was told I would have 2 appointments with him prior to surgery.

It just seems like once I determined I would go the self-pay route, I was sling-shotted past the hoops I was ready to jump through for insurance & everything happened so fast, lol. Literally, got the call at 7:30 at NIGHT with my surgery date. Luckily I had started the 2 week pre-op diet that day, just thinking I would try the shakes & see how I did... sort of a test run turned real deal! I was so shocked that I got the call that late in the day that I forgot to ask any questions, lol.

I think I'm suffering from pre-band jitters that I hear other people talk about. My husband came home yesterday and informed me that there's a good chance we may move after the beginning of the year. I've been so overwhelmed by that... trying to decide if I should even have the surgery in Houston if I won't be here for fills.. I'm calling on Monday to see how they handle that. There is not a True Results office where we would be moving, so I would have to find a different doctor.

My surgery is Wednesday, I feel like I need to be talked off of a ledge, LOL.

I also have Dr. Hollis for my surgeon. I am scheduled for the 14th of December. I like him very much. I went in for an endoscopy on Wednesday and LOVED my surgical team. They were a hoot! They said I will most likely get much of the same team for my surgery. Have you started your pre-surgery diet yet?

Mine is December 14. Im so pleased with them. I had my pre op today with Dr. Holis. I really like him

We have the same Dr. and the same surgery date. Maybe we'll bump into each other.

Yes, I just counted and I'm on Day 10. I thought I was only on Day 9, so that's good, LOL!

I can't wait. I'm just ready to move forward with my life. I'm kinda' afraid because I'm a music teacher and I have a one hour recital that I have to attend the next day.

That would be really neat if you two saw each other. :)

Yikes... from what I've read on here, you probably won't make the recital. :( Not many people were up to getting out of bed much (other than walking around their house) the day after the surgery. I hope that's not the case though, I'd hate for you to miss it!

Unless something goes horribly wrong I'll make it. I own the company and I don't really have a choice. Its right by my house and its only for an hour. Of course, I've already told my husband that its straight to bed after that!

      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.
