Dr. Nicole White - She is wonderful!



Recommended Posts

If there is anyone out there unsure of getting the band or has questions Dr. White is wonderful. I was so unsure of getting in an met her over a year before my surgery. She never pushed...When I was ready I went to her and she is AMAZING. So kind and caring and always willing to help during the ups and downs.

I was banded 04/03/09 and have been doing great. The office staff is so caring and happy to see you and the progress you've made.

I highly recommend Dr. White and her staff to anyone considering lap band surgery in the Northwest!!

I have a question about this doctor. I'm thinking about going to her. I've looked around at some of the different surgeons in Seattle. Like the Swedish hospital requires you to do all these diets before you can be consider for lap band. Did you had to do anything before you do this proceture with her that's required?

Every dr is different on what they require. I have very good insurance and relaxed insurance, so I didn't have to go through none of the pre-surgery diets, except the 2 week pre-op diet to shrink the liver, I lost 14lbs on the diet, yay. It mostly depends on your insurance co is what needs to happen. There are some standard testings that has to happen to make sure you are upto the surgery and after the surgery. Dr. White is a GREAT dr. I recommend her. She is there for you wether you got a small or big question, her staff is great, they know you by name, most of the staff when you talk to them seems like you known them forever how they make you feel. She is a great dr and her staff is just as great.

      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.
