The bariatric centre of crap in my city will not allow me to continue to see the nutritionist. So yours will likely not as well. Reason being, different surgeon, if they recommend something different, and something goes wrong, they're liable... so they basically said not a chance in hell.... lol

 

I will be seeing my regular dr. he said he's has patience in the past do it, and that it's not really a big deal. However, there is an older semi-retired dr who used to refer people for the surgery, he is willing to see me... he thinks for "info" since Iwas originally going to go in August... but I'm going to show up on the 29th to my appointment and say TADA! I'm post op! lol

I decided to go to Dr Joya because someone I know went there and had no complaints. I also wanted to go for an extra few days and recover on the beaches of Puerto Vallarta. I am going on Jan 7 for a week staying at an all inclusive with one of my girlfriends and having the sleeve done on the 9th. Gerald is very fast to answer any of my questions and made me feel super comfortable. Can't wait!

OMGosh!!!! I love that I am not alone in this!!! First off, I'm super sorry that you have been dealing with that horrible news!!! I too would be devastated.

I personally am SET in going to Dr. Joya. I am trying to book by the end of this month and schedule for next next November. I ideally would like to use my thanksgiving holiday days off during my "recovery" period. I'm just waiting on my school loan $$$ to come in to put my deposit down. However, I'm trying to find a co-signer to sign on a personal loan for me. If that happens, then I'm going to go full charge and get it done sooner! Like ASAP! HA!

Did you end up going with dr joya? I'm set to see him in nov

      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.
