My dads wife had RNY at Beaumont. She had a very hard time with her recovery. But I do have to say she looks a lot better now & is a lot healthier. Granted this is a different procedure.

Unless policies have changed, Beaumont uses surgeons from Sierra Medical Center to do these surgeries.

My surgery was done by an army doctor and he did a fabulous job.

I did have dr rice. I'm mad that he is deployed now because I really don't care for dr Shriver. He doesn't let you get a word in edgewise and always makes you feel like you are doing something you aren't. I always feel rushed when I have my appointments and he just makes me feel like I'm going to fail. I'm 53lbs down and had surgery April 2.

This thread is bringing back so many memories for me. I was an Army brat, dad was air defense so I have so many fond memories of El Paso & Tacoma areas. Anybody care to throw in Würzberg, Hanau, or Wertheim? Oh yeah, if your in El Paso and need automotive work, my dad's shop is Jerry's Automotive on Dyer st. That's my shameless plug. :D

When the time is right, you will know who you want to tell. Some people think I took the easy way out. They really have no idea.

      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?

      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.
