I'm scheduled for my sleeve with Dr. Bertha on August 5th. I'm just curious to hear how other people's sleeve surgeries went with him so I know what to expect. How long were stage 1 and stage 2 for you?

He did my band back in 2008, I'm scheduled for the sleeve this month. I think he is great!

I for some reason have never gotten any notifications on this topic ever until the last one today! I'm sorry!

I'm almost 3 years out from my sleeve surgery and it was the best decision I've ever made in my life. I can't say enough great things about Dr. Bertha and his entire staff is amazing! You are in great hands with him! I have found from friends going to other surgeons as well that Dr. Berthas phases of eating after the surgery is one of the best and most successfully layed out. Just follow the packets they give you to a T and listen to them and you will be successful in your weight loss journey! Best of luck to 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.
