I am awaiting all the pre-screening results from Rockwood in Spokane Washington, I actually live a couple hours away. Waiting is frustrating it has been almost 2 weeks. I have called the nurse but haven't heard back. Anyone else going through Rockwood Clinic?

I live in the Tri-Cities and am using Dr. Fox in Richland. I highly recommend him for his services thus far. I have been working with him for the past three months and am due to have surgery sometime in late August. He is very thorough and keeps you updated about your testing. If you are close enough to give him a chance I think you would be happy with the decision. Otherwise I hope all goes well with Rockwood. I have not heard anything of them since I am living in the Tri-Cities. Keep up informed.

Thanks for the suggestion Jason. I am in Walla Walla and Rockwood was recommended by my primary care dr. I have a friend who went to Spokane as well. I have done all my piliminary work with Dr. Rawlings and was happy with his treatment. I am now just waiting to hear back from the pysch and hopefully have a date soon.

Oh I see... once I read your post again I understood a bit more. At first I thought you were having trouble with that office. Sorry for the confusion. I am glad things are going well for you! It is an exciting process and I know I am ready for the surgery. Like I said.... keep us/me informed of how things go with your journey. I would be interested in hearing from someone else so close by. Best of luck!

      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.
