Worried in Maine



Recommended Posts

I am at the end of the qualification process for lap band and most recently attended a required public information session Casco Bay Surgery held here in South Portland. I was fine with all of the people I have had contact with up until now but did not like the surgeon who did the presentation. He seemed unprofessional. I would be interested to hear from anyone who has had their surgery with that center and how things went. These are the only guys in this area, so there isn't an option to call someone else at this point. Thanks

LCJ,

I have been going through Casco Bay and have been real successful. I do know what you are talking about though. I went to the session awhile back and kind of thought what an arrogant SOB. I ended up with the other surgeon and everything has worked out. I had surgery on 9/9 and so far so good. There is also a Maine specific group on these pages too, Have you looked in there?

Good luck!!!

Thanks Twiley. That was exactly my response to him also! I am scheduled with the other surgeon, so maybe that will work out. I would be interested in hearing how you are doing as things go along. How long were you out of work? (assuming you work outside your home) Any complaints?

Today was my first day back to work. I was out a total of 8 days. I probably could have gone last Friday but figured I would rest up. Good thing. I was quite tired this afternoon.

      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.
