Summer,

I had surgery by Dr. Tran on 10/09. They are a great office and two great doctors. If you have any specific question feel free to ask.

Chris, I'm getting banded by Dr.Tran on monday. How was your experience? Any complications? Was Tran personable? Just wondering since I really haven't seen or heard a lot about him online.

Maybe he's at the Woodbridge office. You don't have to go to him for fills though. Christina is great if you go to her!!! I just got my last fill (I hope). I am at 9.2cc in an 11 cc band. I can tell it's going to work this time.

I go to the Woodbridge office and they just keep saying hes not in the office and they dont know when he will be back. I have received a fill from Dr. Tran before too. never Dr. halmi. i am glad to head you have 9.2ccs. Do you feel a huge difference? What were you before this fill?

I was at 8cc's. With 8 I just had a hard time with bread/rice/pastas but today when I got my fill I got a little burpy from just the Water. I hope it works ...I'll know more in a few days.

      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.
