I had run on May 23 with Dr. Houseworth. My surgery went well. I have had good experiences with the office and the nutritional office

Deb, can you tell me me about your experience? I'm debating between Dr. Srikanth and Dr. Houseworth.

He was great. Very kind and knowledgable, but honesty I didn't see him much. I saw him for 2 pre-surgical consults, the day of surgery, and the day of my discharge. My follow up appointments are with mid level physicians. I read up about him and he's done more robotic sleeves than anyone in the state. Overall, very happy with my choice.

I just had RNY with Houseworth June 20. He's very talented and experienced but doesn't check on you much post op which was disappointing because I had a rough go with it in terms of pain and would have liked to hear from him why I was having such a hard time.

Pretty good. The first 2 weeks were rough. I thought I was only going to be off work 1 week, but ended taking off 2. I'm cleared for all foods at this point. But meeting my Protein requirements is challenging.

Hey everybody. Surgery went well. No complaints or complications. I guess the only thing I would say is I wish I spoke to him more or that he was more friendly. He's nice. He was on time for rounds in the hospital . He did a beautiful surgery and gallbladder removal. All is well.

congrats. how long far out was your surgery date after approval? Ive been approved and currently waiting for him to sign off my packet so i can schedule

      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.
