Anyone else using Transformations in Flowood, Mississippi?

I'm from Ridgeland and just saw this thread and thought it would be neat to chat with a bunch of other MS and maybe even tri county area folks! I had my surgery with Dr. Kenneth Vick on Monday, 12/9/13! I am doing great but sooooooooooooooooo ready for the puréed stage!!

I work at UMC in Flowood,MS at our Grants Ferry clinic.

Love to hear from some of you!!

Hi! I'm Janine and was sleeved on 9/24/2013. I'm 40 pounds down and still learning! I didn't use transformations so my post surgical protocol is a lot different. Good luck and keep us posted!

I have my consultation appointment on tuesday to start the process to get gastric bypass. As a state employee how long is the supervised diet with Dr. Carroll?

Hello, I am from Pearl but did not use any program around here. I was self pay because my BCBS of MS would not pay. I went to Mobile Al because all of the programs around here were $3000 to $5000 higher. My total cost was $11,900 (including BLISS insurance) + $127.00 for my initial appointment. I was sleeved on 10/24/13

I went to a one initial appointment with some jerk doctor at St. Dominic (their program for self pay was less than Transformations) and I paid $300 for him to be a jerk to me.

He had only preformed 75 surgeries He is also associated with Transformations in Flowood.

Hey everyone!! I'm a Mississippi girl too!! I live in Iuka. I have BCBs ins that has the bariatric exclusion so I'm having to pay out of pocket. I considered Mexico but decided I want someone closer if I had complications. I have my initial consult with Dr Pinson this coming Wed. Excited and nervous.

      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.
