Try Dr. Rob Schuster at Banner Gateway Hospital in Mesa. He is my surgeon and he takes a lot of people who have had their surgery elsewhere. He is fabulous! Good Luck- Lighterload

well im not in AZ so i couldnt help with doc referrals, but i see u said u are having alot of problems...is everything ok??? are u in pain?? I would be so upset, if i was having problems with my band and i was being refused it could bejust b/c they weren't the ones that got paid the big bucks for the procedure..... they seem to not be lookin at the big picture of their whole reason for being a doctor in this field...

Hi Fletch, i'm sorry you're having problems, people move and we all need medical anywhere we go so I don't understand. Kindof sounds like Orthodontists, hey dont like to see people who have existing work. But if you look youll find one.Well I just was banded last week and I feel blessed to have found Dr. Simpson in Phoenix, and I hope you will have luck there , tell him you came online and asked for help and that I recommend him highly he is one of a kind old fashioned type Doctor. My name is Sonya and just go to his website Dr.Simpson.net and email him. Goodluck.

      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.
