Bles- just looking up Dr. Petelin. And came across your question.

I have my annual appoint with him middle of next week. He did my breast cancer bioposy-he was my second opinion. As the other surgereon didn't even present me with a flyer packet to show you - Dr. Petelin will take his time in his office and explain very thing about what will be going to happen - Other words he talks.

NO cancer 2 years & free

This time I am going to ask him for a second opinion on another proceedure of which he did not do. but I want to know what he thinks that needs to be done.

.....My first empression of him oh, he was going to be a cockeything. He probably thinks hes Gods gifts to earth.:) NOT THAT WAY AT ALL. He will only deal with S.m.m.c. n(hospital) not with the day surgery building across the holler.

The day of surgery for me. Just a biospsy. The surgery room that we were scheduled to ,was running late. So that put him behind. He came out and visited with me just a minute, to check how I was doing and told the nurse give her something to calm her down. (He had put is hand down my arm. with that he noticing I am shaking very nerviously:biggrin2::lol::lol:)I was out to lalala land.

Are you looking to do the LGB. - I am so tempted to ask him myself.!!

Sorry so lenghtly. Oh pluss the office staff is wonderful too.

      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.
