Sebastien in Daytona? He's a great surgeon he did by daughter n laws bypass and took my gallbladder out a few years ago!

He also did mine. I've been very happy with him, the staff and the entire experience. I'm seeing him today for my 1month follow up.

I completely agree withClinincal Nurses experience. Mine was the same. Everyday is better than the day before. I'm 4 weeks out. My best I advise is follow everything they tell you to do. I had many "aha"moments after surgery when things came up and my brain went "I get it"!

There can be 2reasons why he wants you to loose weight. 1) it makes you a safer patient on the OR table...less risk for complications. 2) he wants to know you are committed to making the dietary changes needed to be successful. To many people want the surgery and the weight loss, but don't want to 'give up' or changes the foods they are eating, like the breads, rice, and sweets. I had a friend in that situation. They wouldn't assign a surgery date until she made the commitment. Before she did, Ll I heard was " well, I can't just stop eating....." Once she did the weight dropped and she is doing beautifully. She now understands that she had to make that real emotional commitment to change. She also has not had any complications. Hope that helps....we're here for you

I know, i saw dr. Noel and thought he was so young. I know every appointment is different but can you tell how long was the physc appointment. The reason why i ask is because i have another appointment that day to see my pcp. And i have heard stories about physc appointments can take 2 to 6 hours.

      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.
