Dr. Carlos Weber Md - I'll start



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery 12/31/08. I had a rough start (search and find my other posts), but all in all, I'm satisfied with Weber.

He has been in bariatrics for awhile at Kaiser, so he has the confidence you'd expect. I have to fly from the Big Isle to Oahu to see him.

What I like is that he let's you be in control with fills or no fills. He is liberal when it comes to eating solids after fills. This makes sense to me because only you know what you can handle. You need to feel the effects of band and what you are capable of.

He takes time to listen to your concerns then answers responsibly. He is supportive and doesn't criticize.

Hi Volcano lady, Finally I found someone who have Dr. Weber. I also have him. And I do love him. My surgery was on Aug.27, 2008. I'm doing great. I'm down so many sizes. I was 18w. 2x tops. Now regular size 12 pants, xl tops. Down to 1 medication from 3 for high blood pressure. Not diabetic I was surely border line. Dr. Latore said I was probably diabetic on a regular day. I still have a hard time with eating. Some days no problem. And some oh well you must know...Can't hold down rice and noodles. Let me know how you are doing.

I had LB surgery with Dr. Weber 12/13/06. Down from 404 lbs to 235. I have been at this weight for some time now. I see Dr. Weber next month for a fill. I can eat pretty much anything right now (truth be told, I am enjoying it!). Keep up the good work!

      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.
