Rica - Remind me right before you come and if at all possible I will meet you! We sometimes ride our Harley's down there and if the weather is nice it might be a good time to head that way so we can meet you!

Hi Dixie, I'm in Cleburne and I used Dr. Powell for my surgery. His staff was wonderfull. He is a little on the dry side. My surgery went well. The only thing I have to complain about is not really about me (well, I guess it does involve me). I was a cash pay patient and I was referred to Dr. Powell by Dr. Maese in Ferris Tx. I had my surgery in November of 2004 and as of yet, Dr. Powell has not released Dr. Maese's portion of my payment to him. They have finally agreed to pay him but I don't know if the payment has come across yet. He tried to say that I wasn't referred to him and came to him on my own will. Well I didn't even know who Dr. Powell was until Dr. Maese referred me to him. Any ways, though you should know that. If you are a cash pay patient and will use Dr. Powell for your follow ups, you have nothing to worry about. But watch out if you are a cash pay patient and you go somewhere else for the follow ups. Dr. Maese was doing my follow ups for free until all this got straightened out. I love Dr. Maese.

Hello everyone.

This is my first post to this group. I nave not been banded yet. I am still in the process of finding a Dr in the area. Any assistance you can provide in recommending a local Dr that performs this type of surgery would be appreciated. I live in Justin, TX, next to the Texas Motor Speedway, Between Denton and Ft. Worth.

      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.
