Recommended Posts

I am in the beginning stages of this process and was wondering if anyone has gone to Dr. John Angstad from NY Bariatric Group?

I have gone to NY bariatric group and seen Dr. Angstadt while I was in the hospital right after my surgery. I had Dr. Garber as my surgeon. All I can say is the whole group there are terrific! I go to the support groups at St. Charles with Dr. Angstadt he is great and very supportive. I have lost 34.5 pounds since April and now also going to a personalized gym which Dr. Angstadt also attends. Love the whole bunch..feeling great and happy...good luck in your journey. Highly recommend them.

Best of luck with your surgery. How long did it take to get your surgery date?

Not very long. They scheduled me and then heard the ok from the insurance company about 5 business days later. I had a 6 month monthly weigh in to do for my insurance too.

I already did the 6 months weigh in with my own doctor. I have BCBS do you have the same?

      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.
