I am going to have to find out when they are. I did not really know about them. I have been seeing Dr Gandass since September. I had to have 6 months for my insurance.

I just has my sleeve on feb 20th by Dr. Gandsas. Everything went fine! I came home on the 21st and I'm doing pretty good. AAMC does have a support group that meets once a month. Not sure what the dates are.

Hi

I am getting sleeve with Dr Gandsas on May 8th. I love the support group. I have met many AAMC employees who have had sleeve or GBP with Dr. gandsas.

I'm ready for surgery now, but he is so busy it takes 2-3 months to get on the surgery schedule. I qualified for a March/early April date.

Love Arianne, but sometimes Jeannete kinda scares me. :)

Well due to other health complications I was not able to have a my sleeve. I'm sad but Gandsas said we can still do my surgery once I'm all through the woods with this..

I am so sorry!!! I'm sure you are incredibly frustrated.

I was very worried about some unforeseen testing, but I got my results and everything came out ok.

Did dr g give you an idea of what you need to do, and when he can reschedule?

      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.
