I have not seen his name once, makes me wonder why??????????/

I have been approved for 2 weeks and still have not been scheduled. If I don't get scheduled this week (I keep calling but can never reach the person in charge of my file) does anyone think I can take my letter of approval to a different dr? It is addressed to Dr. Owens.

I'm new at this so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I had surgery from him in san pedro and i live in san diego and do the fills when he comes...he is a GREAT dr...and I have been so successful....- 161 pounds in 1 year 4 months. Call the san pedro office..coastal center for obesity...HE is soo suportive and helpful...

I live in San Diego county also and had my surgery done by Dr. Owens. Him and his staff were wonderful. I have Tricare so I went to see him for my consult Feb 19 2008 and they had me approved within 2 weekes and had my surgery March 25 2008. I traveled to his San Pedro office just so I wouldnt have to wait longer. Overall great experience with everyone with the coastal center for obesity.

      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.
