I had Dr Ren back in March 2004 - she was great - you didnt really see her too much - that was right before they had there big BOOM - but I did have good experiences with her staff. I never met Dr Fielding but I heard from others he's agreat man. Good luck!! :)

hi everyone,

just got back from my appointment with dr. kurian. this is my second time at the NYU office and everything has been smooth sailing. (haven't had to wait at all for either appointment.)

met with dr. kurian (who is lovely) and we set a surgery date for august 14th. my esophogram is next week and the pre-op tests are on the 7th.

everyone seemed fine -- nilsa (the surgical coordinator) was v. together. we'll submit to my insurance for pre-certification next week and go from there.

yay!

go back right away and tell them how you're feeling. they'll probably put a little more fill in the band. if you're hungry--it's not exactly right yet.

good luck!

      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.
