I have Tori and absolutely love her.

Yay on the 30lbs!!! That's so awesome. I can't wait until I'm post-op. It feels like it'll never get here. Lol

Bixby area here. Went to Bailey Bariatrics with dr Varnell. So far I like him. I'm post op day 13 for sleeve and doing pretty good. Having some pains sporadically through my abdomen and incisional pain but drinking great. Anyone else get these pains in abdomen?

Just starting. I see Dr. Katsis tomorrow for the first time. He is in the same office with Dr. Varnell. I live just west of Tulsa. Very excited.

If you don't like him, Varnell is great. I hear also it's cheaper at bailey than city tower hospital

Just depends on insurance. I hear Dr. Varnell is good. Several people here in Mannford has used him. I found out after I got started with Katsis.

      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.
