I live in Central Ks, Great Bend, and was sleeved by Dr. Hamilton at KC Bariatric in Lenexa. Had my surgery 12-06-12. Everything went well and it has now been about a month. I haven't really had any problems and am getting really excited to start exercising and weight training. I agree that I hate being so far from my Dr. There isn't any local support groups to attend either. I was thinking about checking out the Wichita area and just planning to drive the 2 hrs every month.

Congratulations Slim! I know Dr. Hoehn assisted Dr. Hamilton for my surgery. I really like him. Praying your surgery goes well and your recovery is quick as well. Do you know if there are any good support groups in your area?

For me, I did alot of research on this site and another site to help me find the doctor I felt was best for me. In my research I found Dr. Hoehn in Kansas City. He has great reviews. His program is also a Center of Excellence, which made a big difference to me. I have also been able to follow some of his patients on here to see how they are doing. I didn't come across any doctors from the Wichita area when doing my research. Although I know there are some 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.
