Dr Fisher was the one who gave the orientation... skinny gray haired guy... I have an appointment with Dr. Park on the 17 of this month!! Should I call and ask for Baggs instead of Parks? I wish I would have gotten baggs... Darn it

Tani,

I have Dr. Parks and she's ok, Dr. Baggs is funny, she is more relaxed. I was only upset that she didn't give me a fill but to be perfectly honest I can wait a few more weeks for the fill, considering I already have 6cc in my band. Try her out and you can always change.

Nicole, at first I thought I wouldn't mind but then I remembered how frickin' hungry I am for that first 24 hours and I want to have the energy to boogie board and hike and play and I know I won't have it with no food in me.

We're still planning really healthy good meals with lots of physical activity so I think I'll be okay! I'm just putting a list together right now and am gonna pack up tomorrow so we can leave at 8am Friday morning.

Hello everyone! I'm new here. I will be banded on july 21st. One week to go! I'm so nervous and excited! Im such a wimp. How much pain is involved? I have had 3 children naturally, so i am familiar with pain. I just like to know what i am in for.

Juicysmom, I know the feeling, I am 7 weeks post op. I has the same anxiety, I even taught of death and the funniest is that I saw 2 Hearse on my way to Richmond to see the Anesthesiologist and PA. I totally freaked out and called my sister to tell her that in case I die during surgery she should care for my kids LOL:lol:. I dreamt about my funeral and all I think Nicole did too!. LMAO. So yes some anxiety are more extreme than others.

GIRL, you will be fine, you will be in the hands of some of the best experts in Bariatric Surgery. The nurses are super cool. Congratulations and may you be blessed during your process.

The pain....... :eek:If all your kids were natural then you will be fine. Don't get me wrong it hurts for a week and after that it gets better slowly. Follow Liz's directions, that Spirometer worked wonders for me.

Heather congrats on your inches lost.

Jes- you are working your menu girl, you go!

Honestly, I like her alot, I love her calm approach and she is very smart, she knows her stuff. She also specialized in LB and RNY, I believe she has the same level of expertise as the other surgeons if not more. As I said before go meet with her and give it a try.

Yeah give her a try. She cant be bad:) She does got a good team standing behind her. The only thing you will have to deal with is you will have to drive the extra 30 to richmond instead of pinole for your fill.. She doesnt do the group fill like baggs does:D

Congratulations on your weight loss so far and I look forward to seeing you again soon.

      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.
