Am in Denton Texas and I used Dr. David Provost. I have liver disease stage 4 and he was still able to do the surgery where other drs wouldn't. He's an awesome Dr. And individual. He cares about how you are doing and has a life long manual to use for the rest of your life. The staff is awesome and they genuinely care also. Good luck to all of you. Sincerely Debra (Dabberdoo)

Hey Dabber, what does your doc say about the effect of the probable weight loss on your liver disease? Prayers going up for your healing.

He said that this is the best thing for me. And not all drs will perform such a surgery. But with my pre op fluids for 2 weeks it as able to shrink what liver I have left and he was able to move it out of the way. I was terrified for the mortality rate was real high but I trusted my dr and had lots of prayers so I new it would be fine. He said he had done a couple before so I was glad of that experience he had. He is awesome and is saving my life. Filling his instructions but having problems with the Water. Thank you for the prayers. Probably next year ( hopefully) will go on the list for a transplant. Now that scares me. Baby steps and drink your water! Lol. Thank you for your prayers they mean so much to me. Phase one over phase two next. Then happy birthday to me!!!! Dabberdoo

Congratulations on your surgery!

My husband would be a super high risk patient, hoping to find a surgeon who would preform the sleeve on him.

Blessings,

Kathleen

If your in the Denton/dallas/ft worth area dr. Provost is a good one. I was majorly high risk also. Mortality rate was high but I believed in dr. Provost experience and all the prayers that got me thru it. I had no problems at all. Good luck to your husband. I'd make sure he has done the same kind of surgery as the disability your husband has. Good luck to you and your husband.

      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.
