Loved Dr. Macik and Northside. Only stayed in hospital one night. Everyone was great. I have been lucky and off pain meds since I got home. Had major dry heaves when they gave me pain meds in the hospital. Trying to walk out the gas pains...those still hurt the most.

It`s good to see that you are getting your walks in, I watched some YouTube videos where some people developed blood clots because they didn't get enough walking in for circulation. Take it easy , and don't rush things.

My daughter stayed for 48 hoours after surgery. I know Dr. Macik only do surgeries on Wednesdays. He is a very reserved man (quiet). When did you have your surgery.

One of my friends had the lap band surgery with Dr. Macik and had nothing but good reviews with him.

I started my process with Dr. Titus Duncan before finding out that my new insurance policy excluded wls..

Dr. Duncan did my surgery, he is awesome.

      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.
