Dr. Michael Snyder - Great Surgeon!



Recommended Posts

i had my surgery on 3/24 Dr. Snyder and his staff were amazing I'm about a week out. I don't get to meet with him for another week would it be ok to have other liquids that aren't necessarily clear?

If you are supposed to be on Clear Liquids then why would you push it to something that is not. Follow what your post op directions say exactly, you need to heal. If it says Clear Liquids, then don't push it.

well it says to be on clear liquids for like 5 days and then you can go to the 5 foods you can pick from and since i havent seen him i figured i would stay on the liquids but im reading other things that ppl have said they can drink full liquids after two days

I had Dr, Snyder as my surgeon this past Monday. I can't find words to tell you how wonderful heis. I had no pre-op diet, and have not had any gas pains and have not used any of the narctiocs that he had given me. I would higly recommend him.

Had surgery with Dr. Snyder on March 19 2012. It was a wonderful experience. I received a Lap Band with Plication. There was some difficulties with the Plication but he was on top of it immediately. It was mostly just a lot of swelling. He had may stay over night in the hospital and I was watched very closely. I am home now and can't wait to do the rest of the classes. The staff is awesome and I am so glad that I was given all the education in the world to be successful. Dr. Snyder told me he promised he would make things perfect and he really did.

      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.
