Hi,

I did not end up having my surgery in the Quad City area, but I have dealt with both bariatric centers-Trinity and Genesis. I work at Trinity so I was going to have my surgery there, and I had an AWFUL experience with them. The bariatric center is incredibly disorganized. The only advantage with Trinity is that they only have you put a down payment of $7000 down, and you can pay the remainder on a payment plan in 6 months. You do have to pay the surgeon upfront, which is $4500.

All said, after talking with the Genesis bariatric center, I would definantly choose them. I think their preop teaching and postop follow up is much more thourough. I simply did not go to them because I was self pay and I had financial constraints. However, I was MUCH more impressed with their program.

Please PM me for any further information you would like!

Also, if you work for Genesis, their health insurance covers bariatric surgery without having to jump through any hoops, because they are a Bariatric Center of Excellence. Might be worth looking for a job there!

      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.
