Who was your surgeon and how are you doing post op?

I had my surgery with Dr. Dana Reiss here in SA, who is going to do yours and when? I have been doing pretty good post op, it can be a challenge and balancing act not to mention new learning experience all at the same time.

I am in west SA at Westover Hills. Just began this process. Had my first appt with my surgeon on 5/22 and got my pre-surgery instructions. I have most of my clearance appts/procedures scheduled already so am hoping for a Sept surgery date (sleeve), assuming no complications arise. I am really getting excited and think about it all the time. My only concern is I will have no one with me after surgery. I have read that it should not be an issue but it still makes me feel a little vulnerable... But not enough to back out! :)

I will be in San Antonio the entire month of July. I will be staying off Thousand Oaks (I think off a street called Perrin Beitel?) the house I'm staying at is on Shallow Water Street. I know it's near an HEB. Anyhow, would love to hear from you folks in SA. Is there a support group nearby. I have no transportation. I believe there is a bus nearby. Please e-mail if there is a support group in that area of SA. Dawalsh2@aol.com

tomorrow 6/24/14 is my upper GI endoscopy so he can see the condition of my stomach currently with the dang band.

Dr. Seeger is the best! He did my sleeve recently as well as rny for my sister a few years ago. Are you going to be at foundation surgical hospital? It's a green facility and all the staff there is wonderful. Good luck!

Yes maam! The RNY will be done at Foundation for sure. The upper GI tomorrow will be at an outpatient facility in the medical center.

How is your sister doing with the RNY? Can you give me some stats on her?

Thanks :)

I don't know the specifics, but she had it done about 4 years ago and has been at goal for a few years now. She has competed in a bunch of triathlons and is now training for an ironman.

      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.
