I had sleeve done January 3rd in Tijuana with Dr Ramos Kelly at Angeles. I can't say enough wonderful things about both doctor and hospital. Dr Kelly is confident, skilled, and highly respected at the hospital. Angeles hospital is extremely clean, efficiently run, and I have never been treated as kindly as I was by the nurses & faretakers at Angeles. You simply cannot go wrong with these choices.

My surgeon was Dr. Steve Webb in Jacksonville, Florida. Surgery was done at Memorial Hosptial Jacksonville, a bariatric center of excellence. I was approved for a one night post op stay. I would highly recommend Dr. Webb. Great bedside manner, very calm and reassuring.

My surgeon was Dr. Benjamin Schneider at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. He is amazing. Kind, great listener, better explainer (is that a word?), does hundreds of procedures a year. Oh, and he teaches them at Harvard Medical School. Gets no better. Love him to BITS!

Hello everyone, my name is Tammy. I was sleeved 2 March 2015 in the General Leonard Wood Army Community Hospital by Dr. Oscar Chan. Dr. Chan is straight forward and does not have a very good bedside manner and is on his own time, but he is an excellent surgeon. I was in the hospital 2 nights. The nursing staff was also on the lacking side pretty much in attentive. I also had to know my own dietary restrictions and call down to the kitchen to order my own meals. HW 239 SW 216 CW 216.

My surgery was done on March 11, 2015 by Dr. Carlos Juarez from California Bariatrics at Clovis Community Medical Center. Due to nausea I was kept an extra day until I could tolerate fluids by mouth. I feel almost no pain and gas pain was almost non-existent. The hospital kitchen has special diets that automatically send the appropriate selections based on individual dietary needs ordered by the surgeon. Clovis Community has a wonderful staff and private rooms. I felt at home and slept well there.

      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.
