I had my surgery 2 years ago with dr. Wegner. He is wonderful! He took awesome care of me and still to this day if I have a question or unsure of something I can call and his staff are there to help. He's very intelligent and good at what he does. He's very careful and for me he explained everything and when I was out after surgery he talked everything over with my husband. I've had a good experience. As far as surgery, it was the easiest recovery time. The eating and head hunger is something you will have to face but they are there to help! Do everything they say! If I had it to do over again, I'd do it tomorrow with dr. Wegner as my only surgeon in a heartbeat!!! The diabetes, high cholesterol, reflux, migraines...ect are all gone now!!! It was the best decision I could've made for my health and dr. Wegner helped me decide what procedure was best for my body and conditions. Because of my experience and success, I have 2 friends that used him for gastric bypass also and they're doing great!! Best of luck to you and I hope this helped!!! :)

      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.
