I'm from South Fl and had surgery scheduled with Dr Webb until I was told he doesn't do the DS. I just had a disctectomy do my surgery is off for another 2 months.

Welcome, research and just focus on you.

Dr. Webb recommend DS to me. When did you see him? I really hope he doesn't change it to a sleeve. Maybe he has someone else assisting him. I'm having a problem now with clearance from a pulmonary doctor. I hap a sleep study done two months ago and it wasn't a pulmonary doctor. Now Dr. Webb want me to find one that will clear me. This isn't good because I'm going to spend more money and he might make me do the sleep study all over again. This is so annoying

Patience. I saw him early last year and thought him super sweet. At a BMI of over 50, he told me to stay home and have a sleeve. Yea right!. I since then have met surgeons who've actually done a ds. I think he has less than 10 so far.

Hello, I just finished up all my requirements and it's been about 4 days since the dr office sent paperwork to insurance. I'm so anxious, does anyone know how long it really takes to schedule you for surgery after approval comes back?

I met a man a couple of weeks ago at one of the monthly discussion groups and he said Dr. Webb did a DS on him and so far he has lost 170 lbs. when I go for my pre op on the 23rd I will make sure all my paper work is right and I'm having the procedure that I wanted. I will keep you up to date with my progress.

      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.
