Those dates are coming up! I am in Hillsboro and going to Dr Patterson. Have to do the 6 month wait for insurance though. OWLS has been really great so far!

I went to Dr Patterson's seminar, but my insurance did not cover it. Her self-pay cost is $35.000 for VSG. Crazy, in my books ... But she is energetic, for sure. Definition of a type A personality, which I want in a Dr.

Good luck, and if any of y'all want to get together for a coffee, Brat and I live near the Tannasbourne area. I'm sure she would get together to answer any questions you have. She's a sweetheart.

I wish I were closer to all of you! I am stuck here in the middle of nowhere, on the Southern Oregon Coast.

      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.
