Any Hitchcock/Hoehn Patients Here???



Recommended Posts

I did not end up having surgery with either Hitchcock or Hoehn at Shawnee Mission but I am following their nutritional plan. I would very much like to hear from others who are following it as well. As far as I know I am doing everything by the book as far as what I eat. The only thing I know of that I am not doing is the B complex. Any suggestions on that? Also, any food plan suggestions? I am still in the 3rd stage, which is days 8 - 22 where you add tuna, ff mayo, fish, tofu, etc...

:whoo: :whoo: :whoo:

Just curious...is there a reason why you're not following the diet from the dr that actually banded you?

I also had briefly looked in Dr. Hoehn for surgery (but ended up going to a different dr), did you have a good experience with his office and him? I haven't met anyone who has been banded by him or the drs in his office.

I guess I need to clarify what I originally wrote. I actually follow the diet of both the surgeon who banded me and Dr.s Hitchcock and Hoehn. The thing is that the plan with Hitchcock and Hoehn is a bit stricter and more specific and I like that. So I add those restrictions to what the surgeon gave me.

Another reason is because I was originally planning to have my surgery here in the states with Dr. Hitchcock (insurance wouldn't pay) so I had been to some of the seminars and had been learning the plan. My daughter-in-law had lapband with Hitchcock and my son had R n Y with him so I was already familiar with my daughter-in-law's nutritional plan.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
