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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
