I have been scheduled with Dr. Reily.....but I am torn because he won't personally be doing the after care like Dr Wilkenfield. How are your results? Do you feel like the nurse aftercare is as good as the surgens? How is the aftercare support at that office?

Dr. Reilly performed my surgery. He is excellent and very thorough when answering questions and makes sure you understand the entire process. My aftercare has been WONDERFUL! If I could have Nurse Ida as my PCP, I would do so in a heartbeat! :) I've also seen Nurse Roxanne - she's great as well. They're not concerned with the band alone - but your health as a whole and how the band plays a role in improving your health.

NewLifeRight- iband was just the same as lap band but they also folded my stomach in twice and stitched it. So once the food leaves my pouch into my stomach, my stomach is now the size of the "sleeve" supposedly. I have had only one follow up and his staff is really nice.

It is all wonderful. Had my first fill on 12/7 and the nurse I saw was super nice very informative. Didn't rush me or nothing. Had a great visit

Hi, I had Dr. Reilly back in April. I only met him once and then once again before surgery. I don't even think I saw him after surgery. My opinion of him is neutral because he wasn't nice or mean, just kind of there. He did a good job as far as my scars are minimal and my recovery was pretty easy. Good Luck!!

Sometimes, its a matter of who can get you the results from a technical standpoint, IE: the surgeon. However, surgeons cut and sew. As someone who has been in healthcare for 20+ years, the "caring" after surgery may come from other sources. The doc who did the surgery, may not be the one you need for support, encouragement, and tlc afterward, but darn they did a good job to start you on this journey!

It is probably from anesthesia. It makes all your organs so relaxed. I sat there for like 30 min trying to go. It just takes time and you have to relax and take deep breath which helps it come out.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
