Recommended Posts

Hi Lots of hope;

I had my surgery through this center, but used Dr. Quebbemann. Can name 3 people who have used Dr. Braverman. Send me a private message if you would like to discuss. (click on my user name in upper left corner) Best wishes on this journey!

Glad I choose the NEW Program!

I am also scheduled for surgery with Dr. Braverman on Dec.9th. Band revision to sleeve.

Band surgery originally done by Dr. Quebbemann some years back. Great doctors,

hospital and recovery. Band in itself was horrible. I could never tolorate it. The only

weight lost from band was due to puking and not being able to eat anything. Very

hard decision for me to finally come to terms with doing the sleeve revision. After

10 months of comtemplating, I'm going forward. Scares the heck out of me.

Yup...this was me. Had the band via the NEW program (Dr. Q) back in 2008. Have had all my followups over the years with Dr. B - who I adore...and am in the painful waiting period of *fingers crossed* to see if my insurance will cover the band to sleeve revision. At this point, if all goes as planned, I will start the 2 week pre op diet on 7/23 with my surgery date set for 8/6.

I hate to wish the summer away but I really want August to be here.

      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.
