It was great. The staff there is wonderful. Had a great experience. I had my own room. Dr Prokurat is great. I saw him before the surgery, then after...I was semi with it, then saw him the next 2 days. I was in the hospital for 2 days because my white blood cell count was high so they wanted to be safe. Also there was a harpist going around playing for everyone and other musicians....you will have a great experience

He is AMAZING!!!!!! I ended up with a crap ton of complications unfortunately and Prokurats (or as my grandmother keeps mispronouncing, poke-a-rat lol) first leak and only leak and he took great care of me. Not only was he great as a dr, but supportive on a human sympathy level too (unlike droid doctors like Dr Law....). Are y'all going to the fashion show/Christmas party the 18th?

      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.
