Hey all! Well I backed out of my appointment this morning with the WLSC, and called Dr. Malleys office, I am now set up to attend his seminar on Jan 6th, 2007.

The lady that answered the phone was SOOOOOOO nice, she told me that she was his very first lap band and she thought he was awesome, she said he has done over 500 bands and NOT ONE PERSON has had an erosion. He doesn't sew over the buckle which they had been finding was a big source for erosions........ so yes, I think I've made the right choice...

And the BIG WONDERFUL NEWS is that he takes blue cross, so he is IN NETWORK for me and my in network hospital is going to be Menora.

I'm excited.

Dr. Rumbaut did my surgery but Dr. Malley does my fills. I am extremely happy with Dr. Malley. He is very nice, easy to talk to, sincere....his office staff are wonderful ladies!!! I would highly recommend him!

I have to say that I had my consult with Dr. Malley on 1/8/07 in his new office on Lamar. He is so funny.. quiet, but funny... His staff is GREAT! Darlene, Nikki, Rachel......... poor Rachel.. she is both a nurse and the insurance guru.. I've been keeping her email hot with insurance stuff....

I look forward to getting banded HOPEFULLY in February 2006

Hi! Congrats on your upcoming surgery! I really like Dr. Malley and his staff. He is quiet but very gentle on fills, I don't really feel anything. Good luck!!

I hardly ever look at this thread, but for all that come later.....

The month of January 2007 flew by... and I started with consult on Jan 6th and by Jan 30th I had the official approval from my insurance.

Now I'm just waiting for a date!

      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.
