Recommended Posts

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has had experience with any surgeons in Upstate NY. I have heard of Dr. Singh, but hoping someone might have something to say about him.

Thanks,

Judy

I use Dr. Shing and love him. He has been my doc for the last two years. He placed my band and I had a number of complications with the band not agreeing with my body. He has been terrific. He is very down to earth and caring. All the doc's in the office are nice and accommadating. I am having the sleeve on April 26th. Have you started the process?

HI,

I am scheduled for all my meetings prior to meeting Dr. Singh and have an appt with him on June 24th. I am wanting the sleeve too.

Do you know how far out he is scheduling surgeries? I am wondering when i meet with him on the 24th how far from that date my surgery will be.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for insurance to cover me, but I seem to fit the qualifications.

Do you also know when the office puts it in to my insurance carrier? On the first education visit, or some other visit?

Thank you so much for writing, i so appreciate any and all info you can share with me.

Judy

      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.
