Got The Consult Appointment!



Recommended Posts

So as of now I am going to NYU to see Dr. Kurian, she is the same surgeon that performed the sleeve on Al Roker! So excited, I'm still so surprised at all of the visits I have to do... Seminar, consult, nutrionist, Nurse visit, etc.! It'll all be worth it in the end I'm sure =)

If anyone is from around the NYC area and would like to reccomend a surgeon please do so!! I would like to see another just to make absolute sure that I am totally comfortable :wub: Thanks =P

Dr. Pomp Dr. Rubino at NYPH . Pomp did my lap band and he's wonderful. I met Rubino about doing bypass but I felt more comfortable with fielding because he is the best. Also al Roker had the gastric Bypass right? Did he get the sleeve recently?

Dr Kurian was my surgeon, I had my lap band revised to gastric bypass.. I love her to bits. Just saw her yesterday for my six week post op appointment. I highly reccomend her!!

Also... I've seen dr. Schwack @ NYU (same practice as fielding/kurian) he's very good too! He's doing my bf's uncles gastric sleeve next Friday. Can't say enough good things about that practice

      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.
