Donna,

If you don't mind me asking, what group of doctors do lap band surgery at Community General Hospital?

Thanks

Hi,

I was just banded in Cooperstown - I live in Sauquoit (outside of Utica). I'm interested in knowing who does it in syracuse just for my own information.

Cooperstown - Bassett Hospital's program is very long. I've been in it since July 07 and was just banded 2/5/08. But I'm doing well - that's the important thing:thumbup:

Hi Diana

Dr.Desimone does it out of Community Hospital.He's just now starting the Lap Bands this month.He's done many RNY surgeries,so personally i'm not really worried.I will probably be one of his top 10 but at least not his first.I hoped that helped with your question.Have a good day.

      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.
