Hello,

Well I am trying to have a band done. I picked out a doctor and went to the seminar only to call the next day and find out that there is a waiting list till 2010..:thumbup: :thumbs_down:

So I think I found a new doctor.

ANY INFO on DR. Krahn (rancho cucamonga or San Ber.)

if he is your doctor please tell me what you think, how you are dealing, ANYTHING. :confused2:

Thanks so much.

I'm in Kansas so I didn't have Krahn, however, if you don't find someone on this thread that did have Krahn, you might try going to the top right corner of the screen (Above the banner) and clicking "Advanced Search" Then search for Krahn and make sure to click "Search for Posts" instead of the assumed "Search for Threads" option. I spotted several posts that talked about him including one from just a couple days ago by a gal that was the second patient he ever banded back in 2005.

Good Luck

Hi Charity, did you find out any info on Dr. Krahn? I'm going to see him in a couple of days and I haven't seen much posted on him except some old post about his staff not returning some phone calls. I do know that he is a Center of Excellence and I don't believe you can just call yourself that. I'm kind of out of luck anyway, because he is the only doctor that my hmo will pay for.

      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.
