I am military and am stationed in Ft. Sill, Ok. I don't know how many military on the web site. I just wanted to share my doctor. He is a Major in the Army. His name is Dr. Reyes. I have never had surgery or anything. I was more nervous about the surgery part than having it done. He is very good. I also started the process in Ft. Bliss, Tx. that doctor was okay, but he wanted me to lose 50 lbs first. If I could lose that much on my own I probably would not need the surgery. Dr. Reyes is my angel, that is helping me start my new life. I had my surgery on June 16th. I feel great and am glad I made the decision.

Thank you for letting me share.

I'm glad you found someone who didn't make you wait. It's always nice to lose a bit of weight pre-op, but not at the expense of getting your surgery in a timely manner!

      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?

      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.
