Dr. Vafa Shayani-St. James



Recommended Posts

I have scheduled by surgery for Jan 29th, 2012. Dr. Shayani and his team at St. James have been nothing but helpful and kind!! They made sure I made it to this point and was approved by my insurance. Dr. Shayani is so personable, by giving out his personal e-mail and cell phone number in case I have any questions at any time. His success rate is amazing and he even teaches this surgical procedure to other physicians in the area. I can't wait to have my surgery and start a whole new life!! I would recommend Dr. Shayani and his team to the fullest!!

I just used him in August...

I think I like him, but he had a bit of a "dry" sense of humor that sometimes comes across as callous.

He did a great surgery though!

I think its just a bad, dry sense of humor. lol. I don't think its callous at all. But to each their own. It looks like you are losing great though! I can't wait to start seeing some results! Starting to get nervous as hell but i'll get through it! Keep up the good work and congrats on your loss!! :)

      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.
