Who Was Your Gastric Sleeve Surgeon



Recommended Posts

My surgan was Lawrence Drahota, and the surgery was done at Blue Valley Hospital in Overland Park Kansas. I was pleased with the care I received and with Dr. Drahota who was very good to explain all the risks and outcomes of the surgery to me prior to my surgery. I would recomend him and his hospital to anyone in this area thinking of having surgery. I live on the Missouri side of Kansas City

My Surgeon was Dr. Armando Joya, at Amerimed Hospital in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. He was great and the standard of care I recieved from the hospital and staff was beyond anything in the US. He, the other surgeons,and the nutrionist all speak English. I would highly recommend him. I had around the clock nurses (usually 2). My stay was 3 days and 2 nights. My cost without the hotel stay was $6,500.00

My surgeon is Dr. Nowzaradan and I am having my surgery at University General Hosptial. My doctor was featured on TLC/ Discovery, as he performed weight loss surgery on the Half Ton Teen. I really like him and his staff is very caring! He is a revision specialist, so that was very important to me since I have lapband complications. I will let you know more after my

revision.

OMG! I watch him on tv. Cool!

      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.
