I loved her and the team and the hospital. I had a bit of delay the day of surgery because of a previous case but everyone was nice about it. The nurses are nice and helpful as well. Only had an issue with 1 in the 3 days and 2 nights I was there so that's not too bad. I go back for a followup next week. Everyone in their practice is great!

My surgeon is Dr Eid. He is with Allegheny Health. I'm pretty sure I would go to Magee also.

Good luck wishes to you lizziebeth72!!! How exciting!!! I hope you have a great experience!

meganliz0824 how did everything go for you? How are you doing so far???

My surgeon is also Dr. Eid. I really like him but I love Chloe and the dietitians! Good luck!

Thank you! The last thing on my pre-op prerequisites is the endoscopy. I've had everything else done. Once I get that done, it'll go through insurance (fingers crossed) and then I'll get a date. We definitely need to help each other throught this.

So cool you've gotten so much done at this point!!! Your soooo close! How exciting! I just got started last month ans will be having my second meeting this Thursday. Doing my bloodwork tomorrow. Planned for today but forgot and drank coffee when I woke up!!! I was so mad at myself! I met with the ekg doctor but still have everything else to do! Ive been doing tons of reading and I've been on this site reading a lot plus I have several friends and family members who have had some sort of weight loss surgery thru the years. Sure had come along way since my moms banding 20 years ago and she was sliced wide open from breast bone to pubic bone! Crazy!

      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.
