Patient of Dr. Deol in Michigan



Recommended Posts

Hi. I'm Allison. I am new to this site so forgive for me not knowing where to start. Well, here I go. I am a patient of Dr. Deol in Michigan. I am scheduled for surgery in a few days. I did about 2 years worth of research on lap band, not only in Michigan, but elsewhere in the country. I came to the conclusion that Dr. Deol was one of the most, if not THE most, qualified surgeon in this area, and probably in the country. When i met her for the first time about 6 months ago, i fell in love with her. She is truely honest, EXTREMELY EXREMELY thorough and doesn't take chances. I cannot emphasize how thorough she is. She is very kind and informative. She answered all my questions and then some. I know, from a few friends that i have in her hospital that she is very selective and does not operate on patients who will not commit to the process. But that explains why her patients are very successful in their weight loss venture. in any event, i am truely pleased and look forward to my surgery. I will keep everyone updated. thanks again.

Hi. thanks for the reply and your support. This site is awsome. I guess they call Dr. Deol's patient's "Dr. Deol's Girls." So i guess I am also a member of her fanclub now. I am going into this with the outmost confidence in Dr. Deol. Thanks God and Thank God for Dr. Deol. Wish me luck girls.

My boyfriend is being banded November 20th. Being his support person through all this, I met with Dr. Deol in her office last week. I cannot tell you how impressed I was with her. I had two pages of questions for her and she answered every single one of them very honestly and thoroughly. She took her time and made sure all our questions were answered and didn't rush through it. I am extremely confident that she will do an excellent job taking his life into her hands.

I'm glad you posted, Alison. I'm over near Flint and have looked at Dr. Deol's website a few times. I'm JUST getting into this and haven't even really started the process yet (have to wait til Monday to even call my insurance company and make sure they cover it), but when I start looking around for a surgeon, I'll definitely talk to her! :xena_banana:

Hi Dr. Deol's Girls. Sorry for the late reply. I had changed computers and had forgotten my password. So, I am back. The surgery went "PERFECT." Dr. Deol was fantastic. Made me feel so so so very comfortable. She is so compassionate, you can tell she truely cares. Got a Teddy Bear from her after the surgery too. So sweet. The surgery itself was very smooth. They had to use a bigger band on me called the vanguard. i am doing well. I have lost a few pounds already. Dr. Deol emphasises that i have to be dedicated to her program, which i think i am. I have already quit smoking (she wouldn't do the surgery unless I did) which in itself is a blessing. I couldn't be happier. I feel like, for the first time in my life, I have control over something. Thanks for everybody's support. I will continue posting. BTW, how do you post the ticker?

      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.
