Dr. Brian Lahmann at BMI Surgery - Silver Cross Hospital, New Lenox, Illinois (south suburb of Chicago).

It's a gorgeous, brand new hospital, and the staff couldn't be nicer. Dr. Lahmann and his partner Dr, Christopher Joyce have been doing bariatric surgery for over 10 years. They have the highest ratings.

I had Dr.Fass at Seton Medical Center in Austin Texas. He is very clear about what he will do, very personable, and easy on the eyes. :-) His staff is helpful and competent, his nurse Jenna has gone out of her way to help me multiple times.

I was sleeved May 20th at Lenox Hill Hospital by Dr. Edward Yatco and haven't had one complication. The only thing I HAVE been experiencing is Hair loss which is the norm anyway but otherwise he's a fabulous physician.

I cannot make enough positive comments about Alok Gandhi, D.O. from Rochester General Hospital in Rochester, New York. He is my surgeon and my bride's surgeon. He and his staff and the entire Rochester General team have been absolutely tremendous.

My surgeon is Dr. John Dietrick of Tampa Florida. He is great - does mostly gastric bypass surgeries. So this is his stock and trade. Great program with multiple yr follow up for all his patients. Nutritionist on staff which is included in the fee. He is also capable of fixing other issues he may find - for me a hiatial hernia that I had suffered reflux from for years - now NO REFLUX! Surgery was at Florida Hospital Tampa - trained staff, caring and compassionate. Great experience. Would recommend him to anyone. OH by the way, I am a nurse - we know how to vet out surgeons! We only go with the best! Highly recommend him.

      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.
