I'm telling you he is wonderful!! I have talked to numerous patients in the waiting room that have told me he saved their life bc another surgeon messed up the surgery. I love him and believe its bc of his good work that I have almost zero complications. Nice to meet you too!

Ladies, I need some advice. My husband has a union job and his medical leaves are not paid. Although I like Dr Gange at west Penn. We are looking for a surgen who does not require 6 visits to him on top of the monthly pcp follow ups. He simply can not take the time from work. Anyone have a surgen who required far fewer visits?

I had 6 monthly classes a d weighs in but were all in the evening. Dr. Peluso at Pittsburgh bariatric. Your clearances might be able to be scheduled on weekends if those offices are open.

      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.
