Hi,

I went to Dr. Bhoyrul's seminar and met with him the end of April. Due to a job change I had to postpone anything further until now.

I really like him and his staff. Have you met with him yet? They have a very good reputation and program from what I can tell already. They provide all the information in your consultations.

I imagine I will get banded in the next month or two. I can't wait!

:)

Well i hope it all works out for you soon. I have not met him yet or even been to the clinic. My phsyc eval is tomorrow my only thing that is stressing me is that I don't have 5 years medical history of weightloss here in the U.S.for my insurance but when I called the nurse that overlooks everything said they would take Dr. notes from Mexico so i hope they will be ok, i treated my self down there for many years befor going to a doc here. We'll see, glad to hear good news about the doc and his staff let me know how it goes for you:) best wishes

Hey Smitten,

I had my psych evaluation on June 1st too (by your post I assume yours was June 1). Did you see Dr. Steres? She seems nice.

Have you gone any further? I just received a call from my insurance so I assume Dr. Bhoyrul's office submitted paperwork.

I am thinking I will schedule the procedure the first couple weeks of August, we have an office move that I don't want to be weak for so I think it is best that I wait until that is complete.

Good luck to you!

Katie

      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.
