Hello, I used this group for my lapband-not this doctor but I was out only one day and back to work on Monday. The band did not work for me and am looking into a revision to the sleeve but because I have tricare I will need to use a military facility. Anyway, I had no problems with southwest bariatrics....

I used them for my sleeve but dr Marquez. I had a great experience with everyone there. The staff is very nice and helpful.

She is great. I have been seeing Kristen the PA since surgery. I really like her too.

I used Dr. Ganta. He performed the single incision through my belly button and I had zero complications. I never needed any pain meds.

I was sleeved in December by Dr. ganta and he is wonderful and so are the people in his office. No problems at all post op. He is at Austin Bariatrics, and they worked very hard with insurance and got me approved quick. Good luck and just do your resesrch.

Dr.Fass in this group did my lap band, which worked amazing for me. He did my lipoma removal, gall bladder removal, lap band removal (horrible slip while 26 weeks after throwing up for days and days due to a gall stone lodged in my duct) and will be sleeving me on 6/28/13. I love him, he always makes me feel listened to and takes time to answer me. His nurse Jenna is a saint and works her butt off. They are amazing.

      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.
