Dr. John Bagnato - Oldie or newbie ? I dunno



Recommended Posts

Hi Bagnato Bandits. Recently found this sight and wanted to introduce myself. Im Donnie J. a longtime bandster, so long I cant remember my band date....lol I think it was 2002 . I was one on the first couple dozen that were banded by Dr.Bernett and Bagnato, they tag teamed me. I havent been to the obesity clinic in a couple years and Im in need of a fill badly:cursing:, just wondering who the new fill nurse is and how you guys like her? My last fill was from Karen. I miss her !!!!:cry_smile: I have done good with my band, not great but good. Recently I have started gaining and I need a fill to stop that, I feel like Im a newbie since I havent been in in such a long time. Encourage me to make an appointment:thumbup:

donniej - welcome to the group. The nurse at the clinic changed a couple months ago and if I remember correctly her name is Leslie(?). I've only met her once, but I really liked her and I believe she's been banded as well. I like that, she can really relate to whats going on with us.

I hope you can get in soon for a fill and jump start your loosing again. Good luck.

Donnie - Leslie is awesome! Welcome to LBT too. I think you'll really like her. Like Nip said she is banded too and understands what we are going through.

Hi guys, Thanks for all the responses. Sounds like Leslie is okay. I will try and make an appointment in the next week or two and find out for myself. Mr. Jack I will try and put together a profile of my band journey. It has been a very bumpity road, actually its been one hell of a ride, but I would do it all over again if I had to. I love my band.

Elizabeth is gone. Leslie replaced her a couple months ago, but she is awesome.

I liked Elizabeth and Leslie is great too. I like how Leslie doesn't have us lie all the way down to fill us. She doesnt seem to put as much pressure on me as Elizabeth did while filling. Yes, she was banded also, so she knows exactly what we are going through.

Leslie said at the meeting Thursday that they might be adding another nurse in an effort to be able to take more appointments. It's not for sure, tho, I don't think. Para, you were there - what did they say?

They mentioned adding another person and also the possibility of moving to a larger office within the hospital grounds.:biggrin:

      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?

      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.
