Have you tried the Scottsdale bariatric center? Ive heard that Dr. Robin Blackstone is the best there.

I second the recommendation for SBC and Dr. Blackstone!! She did my banding on 9/19/05 and she and her entire staff are the best! They are thorough with the complete person and they really care. Plus, as busy as they are, Dr. Blackstone remembers me each time I see her (sometimes in the hall and she has NOT looked at my chart yet).

She takes all the time you need and answers every question. I get my first fill with her on Oct 24th so I will letyou know how she is then. Go to www.scottsdalebariatric.com for her info.

Good 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.
