I also had Dr. Weiss from tri-state bariatrics and am two weeks post-op. I am, so far, very pleased. 288 at start, 277 at surgery and 261 now.

Anyone from the Hudson Valley Area in NY? If so' date=' who did your surgery?[/quote']

Idk if you had your surgery yet or not but I had Dr. Judd from crystal run & he & his staff were fantastic through out the entire process. I coukd not have picked a better doctor to do my surgery. I have had no complications either :)

I have been seen in Crystal Run Healthcare. Dr Judd. I can't seem to locate anyone who had surgery by him.

Also did you go to any of the support group meetings @ orange regional??? You would have met lots of people who had surgery by him there. They have the meetings on the first tuesday of every month in the conference room on the bottom floor @ 7:30 pm. Vicki handles the financial part with your ins company & she is fantastic as well. Laura I believe is the name of the nutritionist who runs the support groups & also is the one you would have your one on one meeting with. She is very friendly :) best of luck to you & your journey with whatever doctor you choose to use :)

I just had my surgery this morning at 7:30am by Dr Weiss from Tristate Bariatrics. Everything has been great. Only thing was I needed a catheter to drain my bladder and removed it right away. I am only feeling a little soreness in my chest but have not had any issue sipping my Water etc. I am truly surprised at how well I feel. At this very moment I am in the intensive care waiting lounge texting since I have walked around all over the place. Going to my room now. Good night and good luck.

Congrats Neoflasher! I was amazed too at how good I felt initially but was slightly deflated by how tired I bacame within a few days. Everybody is different, but get plenty of rest too.

      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.
