Good for you you will like him he's great. Him and Dr Soong are the best in my opinion. And the staff there are so nice and most have had surgeries so they are knowledgeable.

Those with Dr Atkinson:

How soon after your consult did you get your surgery date? Jessie said ill meet with a surgery coordinator after my appt but I'm trying to work around the timeline of everything. Especially since I'm paying cash...

I think mine was about 2 weeks. I payed in cash as well, & it seemed like process was very quick. I started seriously pursuing the process in September & had surgery early November. BEST thing I've ever done!

It can seem overwhelming at the end but just concentrate on the new you on the other side and it won't seem so bad.

Thanks! My appt is at 230 tomorrow and I hope to schedule the first week of March! I will let y'all know!!

I am getting excited!!

I have noticed a lot more "body issues" now that I know I'm doing something to make myself better. Anyone else notice a spike in lack of self confidence/esteem prior to surgery?

      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.
