I used Dr. Fox of Richardson.. two things I love about him are: He has his folks do the South Beach diet 10 days before surgery instead of the liquid diet. You lose weight and learn to eat right. He doesn't believe in starving his patients on a liquid diet when you can eat chicken, veggies, and stuff like this and get the same results. He's very nice...and overall an awesome doctor..... but there are several wonderful doctors in the D/FW area... like Dr. Jayseelan, Dr. Marsden, Dr. Smith and so forth... You're probably pretty safe with any doctor from True Results...

I used Dr. Hamn, and I've been very pleased! His office has been wonderful and patient with me as I've asked a lot of questions. Good luck in your choice. What I will tell you is that you need to be comfortable with your surgeon. This will be a long relationship, and you need to feel a connection with him/her.:cursing:

Dr. Cribbins was fab! Incredible staff, real sweet guy & (I have) really small scars & no problems (which is the most important part)!

CONGRATS, but no - I heard about him online and went to a seminar and then found out 2 friends had chosen him as well (1 is an RN)

      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.
