My doctor is Dr. Scott Pennington, Jr., Trinity Medical Center, Birmingham, AL. He is an awesome Christian doctor who works out of a faith-based hospital. I had nothing less than a great experience with him, his staff, and the hospital. He also has a partner, Dr. John G. Touliatos, who I hear is just as good. I have no regrets with this experience.

I was just sleeved by Dr Lee Schmitt on Dec 1st. Their office staff is wonderful, the support group is great, the hospital was wonderful-St Vincent's East. They are a Center of Bariatric Excellence. They have monthly seminars you can attend with no obligation. I have no regrets picking this office.

Yes definitely =) I'm doing great! The first 5 days were miserable lol.... I was weak and in pain... started regretting it.... and then I weighed and had already lost 20 pounds! I'm at 22 pounds now =) My high weight was 249 and now I'm at 227. They didn't weigh me right before surgery and my scales were broke at home so I really don't know how much I lost pre-op. Probably about 7 or 8 pounds because I know the first week of liquids I had lost 4. And my energy came back yesterday, thank God! I was going stir crazy =) I can tell on your ticker you have done awesome as well! Thats just a crazy amount of weight to lose in a couple of weeks =) I'm still shocked by it because a lot of people at the support group and on youtube that I had seen lost like 10-20 pounds the first month. SO I wasn't expecting it in a week!

      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.
