Dr. Carl Weiss - carl weiss



Recommended Posts

I had my band placed by doctor Carl Weiss may 21st 2008 and I have nothing to say but good things about him and his amazing team he works with. They are ALL very supportive and have truly given me my life back. I started at 343lbs and im now down to 218lbs.

With this team of caring people you get support groups every Wednesday , a Nutritionists that's very easy to get a hold of and even an appointment with a Physical Therapists to start you off on easy but effective exercises. The surgeon Doctor Weiss is simply amazing and i suggest auburn for anyone who is looking to change there lives and work with a winning team.

I also have Dr. Weiss and the team there is great....I feel so comfortable there. I remember being nervous at one point pre-op, and Dr. Weiss saying " I'll take care of you" or something to that effect and from that point on I have felt very comfortable and worry free. Family asked if I was worried about surgery and I was like "Nope, I have God and my surgeon taking care of me, not nervous at all." I wasn't even very nervous day of surgery. I would recommend the team in Auburn and Dr. Weiss to anyone....but just remember u are in control and must do the work...as Dr. Weiss emphasizes...the band is a tool, not a magic bullet...you have to eat as directed and exercise.

Good luck to anyone starting their journey. I am about one year out and would do it all over again in a minute...loving my journey. I'm down about 70 lbs in first year and that is without exercising for two months due to tendon issues in left foot.

      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.
