hI ! Everyone I am looking to see if anyone has been banded at UCSF Medical center by Andrew Posselt or any other surgeon there. I am just starting the process and don't know too much about the place.Is there any extra out of pocket fees from the doctors?How long does it take from the time you hand in all your paper work to the time of surgery?If anyone can contact me that would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, that's very helpful. There's a good sized California group here so sit tight...I'm in North Carolina so, well, ya know. I have no clue.

I did, however, do a Search here on LBT for "Posselt" and nothing came up. So his name has not been mentioned on this site. Is he new to banding? You are very smart to research your doc well. I hope something comes up.

      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.
