Just wondering if anyone has had gastric sleeve done by Dr. Robbins. Thanks!

I am seeing Dr. Marker...I had the choice of Robbins or Marker and was told that Marker does more sleeves.

Hi Hunner!! I go tomorrow for my initial visit and am SO ready to start this journey. Thanks for the info about Dr. Marker. There's another "sleever" on the board that had him as her surgeon and she is doing well. How far along are you in the process? My insurance requires a 6 month dr. supervised diet, so no surgery til the fall. I asked this question to the other Dothan sleever also - how did you choose your goal weight? Thanks and best of luck to you on your weight loss journey!!

Susan :)

      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.
