Dr. Colin Maccoll - Comes highly recommended



Recommended Posts

Dr. MacColl did my lapband surgery in May of this year. He is wonderful!! I was never rushed at an appointment, he always answered all of my questions very thoroughly, and his entire staff is extremely caring. Phone calls are always promptly returned on the rare occasion I don't get to speak to his nurse right away when I call. I can't recommend him or the staff at Altru high enough. Janet, the bariatric coordinator, is wonderful. Shellie, the PA who does the fills, is a hoot. I feel so blessed to have them on my team during my weight-loss journey.

I had Dr. Hape as my surgeon and also couldnt be happier. Janet and Shellie are a very useful tool to our weight loss. They are always willing to answer any of my 100 daily questions.

I am writing regarding Dr MacColl. He is now in Eugene, Oregon and he is now my doctor. Our surgeon moved on to another location. I saw Dr MacColl on Monday and was very impressed with him. I had a slight fill after having had my fill removed in August due to having reflux. He wants to go slowly so I don't face the same problems I had before. I just wanted you to know where he is and that he is already well liked.

Dr. MacColl was also my surgeon & everything had been wonderful. Shellie, his PA is truly amazing and has made this journey always a positive one. Although Dr MacColl has now moved on, the Altru system is still THE place to have this done!

      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.
