Does anyone have any experience with the Downtown Surgery Specialists, Doctor Raheb in particular, or with Saint Joseph Hospital when it comes to surgery and recovery?

I'm in Denver, too!! I'm going through a different surgeon and office, but I've been in Saint Joseph before, and they're pretty good!! I've heard a lot of good things, as well. I'm sorry I can't help you with the surgeon or his office, but the hospital is good.

Did you ever have your surgery? Did you choose that doctor or go with someone else?

I had Dr. Raheb for my surgery in May 2021. He was great and the follow up from the dietician for the past year was super helpful. St. Joes was nice too. They are very encouraging while there to get up and move. The sooner you can, the sooner you can discharge :)

      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.
