Dr. Robert Pinnar and his staff are incredible. He accepts most insurance so that was helpful. His number is 703-709-9701

I love his PA, Paul as well as his nurse, Sue. They are very supportive and personable. I had my surgery April 4, 2008 and could'nt be happier!!

Hello, Colorado, I know I'm coming into this late, but I just got banded last Friday by Dr. Robert Pinnar and I live in Leesburg as well!!

Yes, I did join it, but all I did was set up a user name. It was done late a few evenings ago, so I didn't really have time to read or post. Looking forward to the PM! Heading out to rent a movie. I've been off all week and getting bored.

Today is the best I've felt since surgery. YAY!

Hi All:

We have been doing some organizing behind the scenes and are setting up a super info site called FitLink.com. They are going to host a Bariatric section specifically designed to help people who are 50 plus pounds overweight. Stay tuned. They should have an online journal soon as well.

Also check out the lecture series I am doing in Herndon, VA called Big fat Mistakes! You can read more about it www.Sequoiahealth.com. It is going to offer solutions to the most common mistakes people make in their weight loss Quest. It is also going to introduce The Healthy Weight Loss Wheel; an easy way to manage all the important aspects of a healthy weight loss program.

Take care,

Woody

Hello and welcome! Their office is wonderful, isn't it?? Once ColoradoChick and I figure out what we're doing, we'll let everybody know (she and I both went back to school...).

      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.
