I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be interested in hearing the do's and don'ts. The decision to go for it or not to is agonizing. It would just be nice to talk to people who aren't automatically shooting the whole idea down.... and to get feedback on Dr's, hospitals, etc... What do you do with regard to follow-up when your Dr is not from here? Have you found support with DR's here?

Hello! I am a beginner in all of this. I have been considering surgery for a couple of years, but have finally set up my initial appointments through Highland Hospital in Rochester with Dr. O'Malley. Anyone else?

I am interested in support. I am scheduled for my gastric by pass surgery on 11/24/15. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I know this is going to be a new chapter in my life and I am ready. Changes are also scary.

Anyone here? I'm on month 2 of my six month supervised diet, looks like I'll complete that in March. Working with Dr. Johnson at Highland in Rochester.

I would love to chat with someone local.

      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.
