Well, I will answer my own post, just in case anyone is interested.. LoL. I went to the seminar and was very pleased with Dr. Long, his knowledge and experience in bariatric surgery, and his staff was so pleasing and accommodating!! I am pleased thus far, and I go for my 4 or 5 hour appointment on June 5th. If anyone is looking for a Dr. in Washington, DC, I would recommend Dr. Brian Long, based on the experiences I have had with him up to this point. Good Luck to US!!

Hello Happy,

I haven't had my surgery with Dr. Long as of yet but I am also in the process...had my pre-op testing done last week. I love the staff from this office...they are extremly helpful and work with you in getting your documents in. I selected his office because everything is located in the same building, sort of like a one stop shop lol. Please keep in touch and maybe we will be the first to discuss our experiences with Dr. Long and the lap band procedure at Sibley Weight Loss Center here. One thing I have notied is that there isn't much info from others out there but I guess going to a support meeting will help. Good Luck!!

Hello,

I just had my surgery with Dr. Long on 7/14 and it went great. The staff/hospital were great to work with and I couldn't be anymore pleased than I am right now. My mom was with me on the day of surgery and was very impressed with Dr. Long as well as the staff from his office. I really like this office as everyone was very personable and knew who you were. If I had to take this journey all over again I would go back to Dr. Long's office. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks!

Hi Ladies and thank you for your responses! DoingItIn09, congrats on your successful surgery! I am very pleased with Dr. Long's staff as well, it's Aetna and it's denial of my surgery that has me up in arms! Hopefully my appeal will be approved and I would love to be in contact with you to hear the "what's and how's" of your before and after.

nc_liz I hope all goes well with you too! I love Sibley and the staff in Dr. Long's office. I was there yesterday matter of fact. My appeal will be submitted tomorrow. Pray for me....

      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.
