Hi - He is my new doctor and I have my first fill appointment with him on 3/14. I had my surgery done 8/07 in AZ and moved here to Chicago in October. I have been seeing Dr Vafa Shayani - until I found out he was not covered on my insurance plan. I am sad to have to see another new doctor - so I hope dr Denham will be good. Let me know how your appointment went!

I have heard Dr. Denham is the best around. I am currently going through the approval process. My suregon is going to be Dr. Watson out of Condell. What insurance do you have?

Hey Flower!

YES! Dr. Denhan is the best, just had my two week post op today, went well. I have Tricare Standard, hubby is military. Where do you live? A couple of bandsters who live locally get together often, Round Lake Lake Villa area. We'd love to have you join us! We all met at a monthly LapBand support group meeting at Vista Health Center In Lindenhurst. If you are interested, I can give you the info....do you have a surgery date yet?

Hello Timetobandme,

No I am still waiting for the office to send in my paperwork. They said they had a few emergency surgeries and would look it over in a couple of days. Well that was Wednesday. So I just sit here and wait. I am tired of waiting though. I am still going for weekly weigh-in's just in case Aetna wants a six month diet instead of a three like the say. I live in Lake Bluff. I would love to join the group.

      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.
