I'm new to this and want to here from anyone who is having surgery or have had surgery with Southeast Bariatrics. I'm doing all my pre-op testing and hope to be finished by the end of the month.

I cant wait to have the surgery. It seems like the more I read all the sucess stories, the more I really want this. Tell me about your experience..how long did it take from seminar to surgery?

I'm assuming you are talking about Souteast Bariatrics in Charlotte, NC? I had my surgery two years ago and absolutely love Dr. Voellinger and his staff! :)

:( Congratulations!

Well its been a while since I've been on here. I did have my surgery on 7/17/07 with Dr. Voelinger in Charlotte, however less than a month later I found out that I was pregnant:ohmy: I got to admit I did have mixed emotions because I tried for so long without success due to polycystic ovarian syndrome. Anyway i continued with the pregnancy and now I have a beutiful healthy 6 week old baby boy. Now it's time to get back to my weight loss journey. Since it was less than a month after surgery, I didn't even get my first fill, so it's like starting from the very beginning again. I've seen people who had surgery the same day as i did, and they have lossed like over 70lbs. I can't weight to get there. i just hope it won't be to difficult to follow the band rules again. Pray for me guys! i'm going tomorow to schedule an apointment.

      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.
