Hi,

I am still new to the forum, joined and then took all this time to really decide to do this. I am interested in the responses you receive. I am also in the Southeast, GA to be exact. I'm wondering if this procedure is done at Northside or Piedmont.

Hi there, unfortunately the ESG subforum isn't all that active at the moment, which is probably not surprising its a fairly new procedure and there aren't too many people on this forum who have had an ESG.

There is a Facebook page (ESG USA page) that is a bit more active than here, if you are concerned about privacy with your fb, you could create new profile with an alias, that's want I did.

I did see someone was having theirs in Cary, N.C., not,Georgia, but. a etate away. And I believe there some surgeons in Virginia doing theme Besides there, maybe Missouri, around Saint Louis? And I know Bari-pal Lynn is having one through a hospital/bariatric program in Cincinnati Ohio. Most of the rest seem to be overseas.

I'm the one having it done in Cary, NC. My doctor's name is Dr. McGowan. They have a website newyou.com. If you have any other questions. Please let me know.

      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.
