Recommended Posts

I am just beginning this journey and am wanting to hear feedback on different doctors in the area. I have a consultation with Dr. Hamilton Le at Integris Baptist on Friday.

Any information is appreciated!

I'm going to Dr. Hamilton Le. I like him a lot. I started with Dr. Broussard but switched after I found out the info they told me about them being covered by my insurance was not correct. That's a costly mistake. Be sure to check your insurance and not take the dr.'s word for it. Also, I had to start all my requirements over so that was irritating. I have Aetna, they referred me to Dr. Le and integris is a center of excellence.

I am also seeing Dr. Hamilton Le at Integris Baptist and I also have Aetna insurance. My plan requires 3 months of non-surgical weight loss prior to surgery. Aside from that, I will be finished with all of my requirements tomorrow afternoon. My 3 months will be up when I see the nutritionist for my last visit on Nov 11th. I'm hoping to have surgery before the end of the year. How far along are you in your journey?

I have my last NUT/dr appt on 10/9. Once I do that then the insurance wait begins. It can take a month to get the approval and then u have a preop diet. So, depending on all that, hopefully mid November or December.

      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.
