I am using him. I haven't had surgery yet, but two people I know used him and have had great results. They said they just wished they'd done it sooner. :) I like him a lot so far. Seems very knowledgable and easy to work with. When you first start the office staff isn't very friendly but I have heard they get better once you get started. Everyone says he is always late but I haven't had that issue yet. Good luck!

I had my first consult with her now too. I do like her. I think she was a little shocked that I didn't ask more questions than I did. I had already done my research and knew the answers to most of my questions already.

I went through SW Bariatric and had a great experience. Lots of support and loved my doc and nurses. My doc did the surgery at NAMC and U highly recommend that hospital.

      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.
