Hi charleston friend,

Yes ma'am I had my surgery on October 9th 2012 and as of friday Feb. 22 I am 60lbs down!!! I am 27 and have been over weight all my life. This is the best decision I could ever had made. I only wish that I had done it sooner! My experience is nothing to write home about I was in the hospital from tues to fri and only had one hiccup when they started giving me boost shakes to sip throughout the day. I am lactose intolerant and my tiny tummy just couldn't handle it. I was ready to head back to work after about 10 days but had to take my 4 weeks. Now I wish I could have had more time off!! Haha. But I really can not say enough great things about Dr. Mitchell and his team. They rock! Best of luck and I can answer any questions you may have! This is the start of a beautiful journey!

Thanks for responding!! I'm so excited I know I've made a great choice. Like you can just tell they've got it together, you know? Do you recall what his surgeon's fee was? Rebecca was supposed to email it to me today and didn't. My insurance is 80/20, and I have to pay my part of the fee up front. I really appreciate it!

I am absolutely happy that I met Mitchell. I also work in the OR that he works in but I do not help with his surgeries but I have seen him operate. He is as professional when you are asleep as he is in his office. He is passionate about what he does and is very genuine. I am so happy I decided to have surgery on October 29 2013 and to date have lost 62 pounds and I Feel great!

      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.
