I live in the ATX area but I chose to have surgery in Plano with Dr. Scott Stowers. My coordinator was Alex and she was awesome and the staff and process was extremely easy and efficient.

I chose Dr. Stowers with Evolve because of his reputation and the fact that he only does weight loss.

I had my surgery December 26th, 2018 with Dr. Reddy from Dr. Patels office. I work out the Killeen, Tx office but still had to travel to San Antonio for surgery. Dr. Reddy is awesome and the surgery went very well. Yes his office staff is terrible and you really have to push to get things done. Now that I have had the surgery, it doesn't bother me as much as I have crossed the finish line and I just don't have expectations of his staff. The Doctor is 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.
