Recommended Posts

HI All,

I recently joined after I have been stalking thsi site. I am still in my research mode and now I need your feedback. Has anyone used Dr. Alan Geiss out of Syosset Hospital. I am looking for ALL feedback. Good, bad or indifferent. I went for a consult and really I did'nt have an opinion just yet of him. Seemed, OK.

Thanks!

HI....had my consult and went to a support meeting...he seems very nice, honest and caring....really like his team...everyone has been so nice! I'm in pre-op testing now and every doctor I've gone to (and the referrals were from my primary) have said that he is "great at what he does"....i've yet to hear anything to the contrary. It was my primary that recommended me to him and I trust his judgement!

Dr Geiss was great as was his staff. I had lap band with plication 4 months ago. Down 65 pounds. All my eating and exercising habits have changed. Whatever they did, something certainly changed in me. I wouldn't give a second thought about choosing there team.

Any questions please contact me.

Best of luck!

I used dr. Geiss too. Had procedure 3weeks ago. I feel good so far. Don't know how much I lost yet. Does anyone use dr. Geiss' office's support groups. I really want to but am worried no one else participate s. I went to two pre-surgury groups. I was the only one at one of them. The other had only 3 others. Wanted to go to a post surgery group last week and it was cancelled. I'm starting to worry about the support groups. I hope the one scheduled for next week will be OK. What is your experience with Dr. Geiss' office's support groups?

      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.
