Check it out, if you see any errors or have any good ideas just contact me through the site! It's www.TheBandDoctor.com

Hello Dr. C. Could you talk about the pre-surgical diet or what some refer to as "detox diet"? Thanks.

Hi Dr. C

Your site looks great! I am in the Cincinnati area and my daughter and I just returned from TJ, Mexico, Dr. Kuri performed our Lapbands. Would my daughter and I be able to do follow up care with you?

Also on our flight home I got really sick, nothing came up but I had three episode where I was dry heaving (sp?) and a very hard painful burp...I am hoping I did not hurt my stiches around the band, and I'm not sure what I did to cause this. Also, my pain is far below my port on the left side more in my pelvic/ovary area kinda of a burning pain is this normal? Thank you ~Jina

Hello Dr. C. Could you talk about the pre-surgical diet or what some refer to as "detox diet"? Thanks.

We put folks on a Medifast diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery. This functions to reduce visceral fat (fat inside the abdomen) and reduce the size of the liver to make laparscopic surgery easier.

Using this regimen I have never had to convert a lap band patient to open, so I think it works!

Wow- what a great site! I really would like to help my surgeon develop his baratric program as I think he is good, but he is just really new at doing them, only about 2 years or so. He is a general surgeon also. His program needs help, but I dont know how to go about approaching it with him.

Dr. C:

The link from the band dr estore back home has some broken text for images. None of them are showing up. Tried to find the error in the code, but without knowing the file names... I can't help. Any little typo will do it.

      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.
