Listen, it isnt a case of "if you cant say anything good dont say anything at all" its a case of "this person is going to squirrell around with my innards and if anyone else has gone through him or these folks, please post your experiences?

I am also one of his patients. Saw him the first time back in May of last year. Right now I am waiting on insurance approval. Been through the 6 mos supervised diet, psych eval, saw nutritionist and had physical. He is awesome and Lap Band Solutions is great too. I call them all the time to check on paperwork and they never seem like they are bothered that I call. Nothing but good things to say about both.

Hi! Its nice to meet you! It really is!

I went through the first consult with the American Institute of Gastric Banding where they took an EKG and a basic physical, and I have the referrals to the Psych eval, the nutritionalist, the sleep apnea test, and the bloodwork. Im a little confused as to what to do next.

Tomorrow is Monday and Im planning on spending the morning on the phone with everyone making appointments. One call is supposed to be to his office to set up the meeting with him.

Im hoping this week will be productive.

      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.
