Dr. Schwack is just great. He was very attentive to me and my needs. He performed my sleeve successfully on 08/28/2014. He is such a sweetie, he would wave bye at me when he saw me waiting to be brought into the OR. So sweet! I recommend him 100 percent!

I'm with Dr. Fielding. I am impressed with his résumé but he always seems so distracted when I see him. I know he's busy and every time I see him he always seems to be coming off an emergency or some other problem so maybe it's not fair.

Anyone have insight into Dr. George Fielding? I love that he has the band himself.

Dr. Fielding was my RNY surgeon and he was awesome. He would see me everyday after my surgery and I love his team. I love NYU but then I am a little bias cause I did my nursing school there lol. I will see Dr. Fielding this month for my 6 month follow up. Am down 60 pounds. I was 210 and now I am 150.

      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.
