You may want to do more research about this DR. Several people have posted about health issues after having surgery with him It is your money and your body but at least read everything you can about him, don't just look at the cost of his surgeries. Look at complications and complaints about him.

This gal said he has stopped returning her calls and she is in trouble, that alone should make you want to do further research on him.

My doctor who did my surgery had talked about helping others who had moves to his area from other states. Maybe you could call a doctor close to you who performs the sleeve. They may be able to give you advice over the phone.

They can't give advice in a case like this and without seeing the patient. This person should make an appt with a sleeve doc and if you can't get in tomorrow go to the ER. This is nothing to screw around with. You could have a stricture or a leak. I almost died of a leak. Don't wait.

I just want to chime in with the same - get yourself to a doctor immediately. I think the ER is a very good 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?

        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.
