IH ad Nirmul and he was great. I liked his bedside manner also. He did a great job on me and I was in pain for the first 3 days and then get just keeps getting better. Have now had my first fill - but can't really tell anything has happened. Am still eating just fine. Think I need more of a fill but they don't have me scheduled for another month.

I'm having the same issue but when I think about what I used to eat there is a huge difference. I look forward to my second fill as well.

So has the Doctor always required you have someone stay at the surgery center? Was just told today that someone has to stay there with me :(

It's really not that long of a wait, and you can't drive yourself anyway. I was less than three hours walking in to walking out.

Same for me. Not that long. My dad even mentioned how he was surprised how quick and you definitely can't drive. He brought a book to help time go by faster.

      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.
