Any December '08 Bandsters?



Recommended Posts

Can some one help me with all those people you come in contact with who are just plain nosey.

My wife struggles with that all the time in a big company where she has been for 30 years. People who aren't even close are really pushy with their questions. I've been considering all kind of smart @ss answers "I'm on the Fribbleman diet, you should try it and walk away" (insert any meaningless word for fribbleman. Perhaps the MYOB diet?. I was also considering saying my wife put an invisible fence around the refrigerator and I don't have a key to take off this darn collar.

I just spoke to Dr. Kuri's office today and I am considering to book my appt for the first week of December as well. Have you got any feed back on him from this site?

Hopefully! I've completed all my pre-op testing - just waiting to hear from my insurance company. My surgeon is confident that I'll get scheduled for December. Hooray!!

:D

Hi Pete,

I'm about to make my appointment with Dr. Kuri. I'll see if Dec. 5 is available for another person. It would be fun to email in the days before we go. Nancy

december is fast approaching, so keep positive it will all work out in the end, I believe there are always reasons for something and I feel that it must have been a very good reason for you not having it on your original date. Did they say why it was postponed? and what date were you originally supposed to have your surgery...

Nope, I just made my appointment with Dr. Kuri. My surgery is going to be December 1. Anyone else out there have the same date with him?

That's great that you are going to Dr. Kuri. To bad we're not the same day but still the same week.

Just for anyone wondering about Medical Tourism and going to Mexico for surgery here is a news article that CBS channel 13 in Sacramento did about the Good and the Bad sides. Dr. Pedro Kuri was shown as the good side to medical tourism. cbs13.com - CBS13 Investigates: Surgery South Of The Border

      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.
