Honesty is the best policy

I do not agree with you at all about this not being appropriate forum, is this not where hundreds of patients with the lap band go after surgery for support and to locate providers.

Would you not want to know if the provider you found was illegally solicitating you and was not even a medical professional yet held themselves out to be licensed? If I had been worned before I would never had to experience what I did and maybe by posting the truth which is all like I said public information, one phone call is all it takes to find out that every word I said is the truth.

I just wanted to help some other poor overweight person before Eric got ahold of them too. Please take no offense to what I post I just want everyone to be forewarned about this and to look into this before having him take care of you medically.

I would want to know if there is information about a surgeon out there. Just ignore those that say this isn't the forum. Thanks

Southbeach, you can share your information and experience in other ways besides making accusations of criminal activity. I'm not going to close this thread because this time you're being civil.

Can you share your experience with us? Don't talk about what other people might or might not have had happen to them--what happened to you?

I dont take the least offence to people posting things like that, but I'd be careful what you say about people on forum's like this. You could put yourself at risk of legal action. However right you are.

It seems his name has been tossed around here before, and he is a memeber of this board. I did a search on google and came up with this other thread from a year ago. http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=7168

I think it is just best for people to do a lot of research on their doctors, whether it is for fills, the surgery itself, or even their nutrition and psych consults. I do not know anything about this guy, but personally there is enough stuff on the net about him to make me nervous enough not to go to him. But everyone must make their own choices.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
