I'm having a hard time finding a good surgeon for a gastric sleeve surgery. I'd like to talk to someone to look more into it. I'm from the Modesto area, anyone have any good ideas? Much appreciated.

Can you just check all of them in what you have? There is a good list of questions to ask at some of the blogs. I have a long one but it encompasses things I found out when the surgeon dropped my care. The complications that come up, you can help yourself by finding out whether or not they'll take care of you or just blow you off once the surgery is done.

My choice in the central valley would be Dr. Keshishian. While now based down in Glendale, I believe that he is still operating out of his old digs in Delano (ok, the other end of the valley for you, but the best are worth a trip,) He is one of those long experienced DS surgeons (which means that, by default, he's been doing sleeves for a couple decades) which to me are much preferred over the guys who are just now adding the sleeve to their existing RNY/band practices. A similar distance over into SF is home to several very good choices (Drs. Rabkin, Jossert, or if you're a very high BMI and really want a sleeve, Cirangle.) I have seen a couple of names listed in Modesto over the years but don't know anything about them.

Good Luck,

I did use Dr. Q and had no problems with the procedure at all - it's been over two and a half years now.

That's awesome to hear! I was approved for The sleeve and for his financing plan yesterday. Glad to hear it went well for you! :)

      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.
