I had my surgery with him on Sept 10th. He is absolutely a master at his craft. His nurses are very professional and no worries you will be well cared for. The wait for surgery must be tough though....................................

You have the patience of a saint... It feels like forever for me and I'm next month! Honestly though it would of made more sense financially to put it off for me but I'm very spontaneous!

I had surgery with him on 8/31. I was doing absolutely phenomenal, and then one day I woke up with a few stomach pains, it kind of felt like my whole stomach was on fire. I waitied for it to go away, and when it was not gone the next day, I emailed him. He emailed me right back and asked me for the number where I could be reached right then. He had Dr. Velazco call me. It turned out I just had an over abundance of acid when I was first transitioning to "food". But I thought it was awesome that they will still take the time out to email and call even after you leave. i find that he and his staff are exceptional. Anyone going there will receive excellent care and definitely be in good hands.

Good to know he called you. It seems weird to only go through the coordinators. I am a little worried about my latex allergy, but I think I can wait to talk to him when I get there.

I would ask about it now just incase there is something you may need to bring with you that they don't have such as non-latex items ( I don't see that happening but I always take precautions when I can). :)

      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.
