Sarah, my sister had her bypass with that Dr. And hospital in Sept. She spoke fondly of him.

As for me, I had my sleeve done by Dr. Suh at Inland Valley in Wildomar, CA. Although not super friendly and all business, I like him very much. My husband met the CEO of the hospital while I was in surgery and he had only stellar things to say about him.

I went to Dr. Kevin Krause at Beaumont Hospital in Michigan. Great doctor but bears an uncanny resemblance to Niles Crane from Frasier!

Dr. Nunn at the Barix Clinic in Ypsilanti, MI. He's fabulous, great bedside manner! That being said, I've had a couple issues with unexpected medical bills and such. Boo!

I'm having my surgery with Dr. Krause tomorrow, and I have told everyone at Beaumont that he looks like Niles Crane and they laugh every time. :)

Dr Kieth Kim. Celebration hosp. Kissimmee Fl. Not the best bed side manner but very well respected. No complaints except some unexpected extra cost not covered by insurance. I would recomend him!

      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.
