I have my RNY revision from Lapband scheduled with Dr Patel for June 26th. However, I am not happy with his office staff whatsoever. They are never the same people, the wait time for appts are horrendous and the insurance and scheduling folks are very unprofessional. So, I have an appt tomorrow with Dr. John Pilcher to see if I like his office better and I may switch doctors. I hope your experience is better than mine at Dr Patel.

Today, I had a appt with Dr Pilcher and it was AMAZING!!! What a difference the staff and professionalism makes. I would highly, highly, highly recommend his office. I am on cloud 9-today.

Oh gosh. I am going for my 1st appointment at Bariatric Solutions this week. I chose them because their reviews were all 5's. Now I am a little concerned. Maybe I should cancel for another place?

You should meet with them. I'm having Dr. Stowers do my surgery. The staff has been great, very informative, and always available. There's so many Dr out there and I know it's hard to choose. For me I wanted a Dr that primarily performs weight loss surgery. Not sure if that matters but it was one of the criteria I used to help my decision. I'm linked to realself.com where I met someone who used Dr Stower also, and she had a great recovery and results. I've been on a 6mos diet with their nutrionist for insurance approval. Scheduled for April 25th. Good luck on your decision.

I'm from DFW. Dr McCarty did a mini sleeve on Feb 10. I'm down 51lbs. His staff is awesome, and I highly recommend you check him out. His procedure is out patient, and no restrictions afterwards.

      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.
