I'm scheduled for surgery in three weeks with Dr. Lautz (yikes). I've been pretty satisfied with the process thus far.

I highly recommend going to a bunch of information sessions and hearing the different doctors speak. It will really help with your decision to choose a Dr. I really liked a couple, and others not so much...it's the perfect way see what you like and don't like in a surgeon.

Also - Check out the Massachusetts-specific forum - there is a huge thread dedicated to Brigham and Faulkner patients!

hey there, no I am sorry I am getting mine done at Lahey Clinic Hospital in Burlington, MA. It's closer to me. I am sure you will be fine at Brighams though, everyone knows its a great hospital!

Hi there. There is a thread already dedicated just for the Brigham and faulkner. I just met with Dr. Robinson this week for my first appt. If everything goes according to plan he is saying May/June for a band date.

Come over and meet the newbies, and the veterans all from Brigham. :rolleyes:

I had surgery at faulkner with Dr. Vernon. I love the single rooms. I also had surgery at brighams 3 months later. It went very well. They are both teaching hosipital so you get alot of traffic. I would highly recommend my surgeon as well as brighams/faulkner.

      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.
