Hi all! I'm just beginning my sleeve journey in Beaumont, TX with Dr. Schrapps. Does anyone have any experience with this doctor or Christus St. Elizabeth?

I'm in Beaumont as well. My insurance only covered hospitals in Houston, so I did use him, but if you have any WLS questions, I'd be happy to help.

He is my surgeon. I had my surgery on nov 18. I didn't have any problems. It's a center of excellence so I was good with that

That's so comforting! Did your insurance cover anything?

I wish. My insurance doesn't cover any kind of bariatric anything. My sister loaned me the money and I'm paying her back

$12450. That is the hospital fee, anesthesia, and the doctor fee.

      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.
