Anyone switched dr practices? I've already completed my 6 months but every time I call their office I feel like they don't have all their ducks in a row. They want me to come back in again to meet with the surgeon even though when I met with him I told him I we still deciding between the sleeve and the lap band.

My surgery just scheduled for August 10. I wasn't required to have endo but I had to do a barium swallow where they check for any hernia's etc...I am in Texas. The only other test my surgeon had me take was a CT scan, both parents passed from pancreatic cancer so she ordered a screening for me just to make sure all is well before this major VSG surgery. Best of luck to all, August will be here quick:-)

Looks like we will be the same day.

      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.
