Hello

I am still searching on where to see about the procedure, I see that Akron General has a bariatric center and I wanted to see if any here have gone there or have had the procedure done there and what your comments may be!

Thanks Vicki:rolleyes

I had my RYN bypass done my Dr Sonpal at St Vincents Charity hospital...myself I am really undetermined about returning there! He is a great doctor as is Dr Schieber, but I have been trying to get to talk to someone there in response to either a lap band or to have a revision and for the life of me, I can not seem to get any one to help me with just questions! I have spoken to so many machine being bounced around it has become very discouraging! It was much "personal" when I had my procedure 6 years ago! Sandra use to be there not sure if she is still there but she is just wonderful!! Can not say enough nice about that woman! She makes everyone feel so at ease and good about themselves!

I am also looking into West Penn in PA

I really thank you for taking the time to comment on my question! This is all so confusing!:phanvan

Thanks again

Vicki

      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.
