Who was your surgeon?

Who was your surgeon? Did you use someone in CT or go out of state?

I had my surgery with Dr Timothy Ehrlich from Ehrlich Bariatrics. He is now performing surgery at Griffin Hospital in Derby. I had a wonderful experience with him.

I am hopefully having my surgery in November with Dr. Benbarhim from MidState Medical Center in Meriden - so far it has been a great experience - the team is helpful and very positive.

I had my sleeve on Nov. 7th at St. Raphael's hospital with Dr. Geoffrey Nadzam. He is an awesome surgeon and I am doing really well. St. Raphael's is a Bariatric Center of Excellence and Dr. Nadzam's staff is phenomenal. I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. I feel terrific for only 5 days out and hopefully each day will just get better.

I'm a patient of Drs. Tishler and Papasavos. My last consult is June 23, then I'll just be awaiting approval from China. I'm glad you liked Dr. Papasavos! I'll be so glad to be through surgery and onto my new life!

Cigna, not China! Goofy auto correct!!!

I am a patient of Dr. Tishler also. I am getting sleeved on May 23rd. I am all set finally. Just getting thru the pre-opt diet now. It is amazing how much weight you loose if you follow it. So far the staff and Doctors with Hartford Hospital Surgical Weight loss program have been excellent.

      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.
