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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
