Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm pre-op and am waiting for my approval from my insurance. I'm looking at Dr. Keith to be my surgeon. I've been reading reviews and just wanted to know if anyone is a patient of Dr. Keith, or are thinking of him being their surgeon. Any info is appreciated.

Curious how Dr. Keith patients are doing, I am waiting from approval for primary insurance, already have secondary approval with BC/BS. If BC has to be primary, he is in network.

Im 3.5 months out and have lost almost 60 lbs. I still have abt 100 to go. Even after 3 months I still have some difficulties with just feeling blah after eating. And acid reflux has become a daily thing (stockk up on tums lol). I cant seem to get the required Water intake in still but I love sugar free snow cones so that helps alot. Please let us know when you have surgery!

      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.
