Hello all. . . I am new and was wondering if anyone has been sleeved by Dr. Jayaseelan in Dallas, Texas. I will have my surgery there April 27. Do you have any suggestions on things I might need that you did not bring. Thanks for all you info!!! :D

I was sleeved by dr. Jayseelan on 3/23. He did a great job. Good bedside manner and his Nurse Practioner Sandy Mccoy is the best. I have seen her more than I have seen him. If you are having it done at forest park you will be well taken care of! Remember walk walk walk and sip sip sip! Good luck to you!

Congrats on your surgery date!

I wish I would have brought my refillable ice pack. My chest was very sore after surgery and having ice on it was wonderful. The staff did provide me with ice but MY ice pack would have been perfect : )

I was very glad that I had my heating pad and blankie (a small airplane type). My body temperature was all over the place. Often I just wrapped up in the blanket as a comfort. Sounds like I am 5. LOL

Good luck! Hope it all goes smoothly!

Dr. Jayseleen is my surgeon and I am scheduled for May 13th. So far I have found him to be wonderful. I am glad to hear that the nurse practitioner is good. I haven't worked with her yet. Sometimes the wait in the waiting room is really long, but I've seen him immediately after i get back to the room. I am very confident and happy with him. Hope that helps.

I'm curious if you ended up using him as a surgeon. His website has been taken down and there are some things you need to know if you proceed with their office. PM me if you want to know more.

      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.
