Recommended Posts

just a question, I was banded at TLBC by Dr Yau, I remember seeing in the broachure another Dr's name mentioned. I have never heard of him with all my dealing with TLBC and just wondered who he was? Has anyone else see his name mentioned, sorry I've forgot his name.;)

Hi: Dr. Joffe and Dr. Yau pioneered the band in Canada. Dr. Joffee has now left the clinic. He banded many idividuals who I am sure would give testimonials as to his work. If you are recently banded by Dr. Yau you know how good he is. Have you seen the nutrionist yet. She is very knowledgeable. Doddie

if you search the forum there was a topic about him, its no big deal its not like he left and established another clinic, i think he was either tired of doing it or retired or something of the nature.

For what it is worth, Dr. Joffe was one of the founding members of he clinic but has since left to return to private practice for reasons of his own. What is posted on the website of the College of P & S does not mean those were his reasons for leaving. He is one excellent surgeon but the fact of the matter is Dr. Yau is the one that will be doing your sugery so I would think it is irrelevent why Dr. Joffe left. Dr. Yau trained my fill surgeon and did my surgery. He is one very skilled man. Doddie

carbonated drinks are not recommended by my clinic but some people drink them some do not. I do not. Various reasons are given. One given to me was "think of a bottle of pop, shake it and watch it explode". Although I don't really believe that happens, it was visual enough that I haven't touched a pop since. LOL

Are we not supposed to drink carbonated drinks? ?

      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.
