Has Anyone Had Dr.frank Felts???



Recommended Posts

I have a consult with Dr. Felts. I know very little about him or his practice. I've tried researching him and just found a few post. Can anyone tell me anything about him or his practice? Any advice? I'm on the low BMI 32. I'm nervous they will not be able to help me. Any advice?

Jarvis J,

You'll do just fine. He's a great doctor and has done lots of lap band procedures. I had surgery about 5 weeks ago and I am doing great so stay positive. You're in good hands!

Jarvis J,

I was banded by Dr. Felts last month & had my first fill / post op this past Monday. He is GREAT! His follow up afterwards was very caring & supportive.

I too had a low BMI - they should absolutely be able to help you....His staff is some of the nicest people you will meet, they care!!

Thanks to those who replied. I still go back and forth. I need help and I realize I can't do this on my own anymore. I'm nervous about all the constant fills. I will be self pay and all the money scares me. The long term of the band and the expense it could possibley cost to maintain...it just scare me. I know two people who have had the surgery. The ended up not being able to afford to pay for the fills so they gave up. I guess I need some re-assurance.

      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.
