Hi all,

In a newbie and 6 days till surgery. I am having SIPS with Dr NG. I am really getting scared. Would very much like to talk to another SIPS patient. I have talked to DS and Rouen Y but unknown this is a bit different. Would like to hear tips to make it through, and really a bit of encouragement . I keep looking at all the weight loss YouTube's and the skin and hair loss is freaking me a bit. I am 215 and project to be 135. If you can message me with anyone willing to talk I would appreciate!!!

Hi i am almost 3 months post op with sips. Surgeon was Dr Roslin at lenox hill NY. Had a lapband removed during surgery which made my surgery a little longer. Surgery weight was 282 and today im 232. So 50 pounds lost. Surgery was tough but so so worth it.

Had a lot of gas pain and nauseou. Had some stomach pain but nothing too crazy. Was the best thing that ive ever done. Feel free to pm for more info or questions.

Get with someone in dr ng office. We have the Facebook page. Talk to krista if you are not on it. Dr Sharp is my doctor surgery is Nov 30. From the dates on here i am sure you have already had your surgery. Our group is the best. I bet if you post on our page all your questions you will meet someone that has had sips. I am having DS with Dr Sharp.

Hi Mojo56,

I am considering the SIPS or DS surgery. I have read a lot of posts here about foul bowel movement and gas. I see that you were also struggling with this issue. How is it now? Has this gotten any better? Do you have to be super restrictive to keep it from happening?

      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.
