  1. I have had a sleep study in a clinic and also at home for two nights. At the overnight clinic in did take me a while to fall asleep as you are hooked up to a lot of cords and I had to sleep on my back (I am a stomach sleeper). I did eventually fall asleep. One helpful tip, the day of your sleep study, make yourself tired! Clean the house, exercise and no naps. I received that advise and I think it helped. By the time I got there, I was tired and ready to sleep! My at home sleep study was for two nights. The hardest part was putting on the electrodes because it is time consuming, about 15-20 min. I had no problem falling asleep at home. Waking up to use the bathroom was no problem. I think these things intimidate us just because it is something new. You will probably do just fine! Let us know how it goes and Good Luck!
  2. Hi everyone! I am new to this forum and excited to be here. I have a date scheduled with Dr. John Weaver for December 22, 2011 for a Lap Band. I wanted to see if there are any Dr. Weaver patients over here on Dr. Kirshenbaums thread? A thread has been started by Natalie at Considering Dr. John Weaver In Colorado Please let me know how you have done with Dr. Weavers surgery and care. Glad to be here and moving forward!!
  3. Hello Everyone. I finally decided to jump in with both feet and make my first posting. I met with Dr. Weaver in his Sky Ridge Hospital office in Lone Tree on December 2. I was greeted warmly by Lucy at the front desk. My consultation with Dr. Weaver lasted about an hour (atleast) and I found him to be very informative and friendly. Very nice man, willing to answer all of my questions. He goes through a powerpoint on the computer so no details are missed. I really liked that. I felt he was there to consult with me rather than tell me and get out as fast as he could. He was great. Natalie then came in and was willing to answer any leftover questions that I had. I didn't have to many. I thought Natalie was very kind and I look forward to working with her. She said I could call her at any time with questions. I am taking advantage of Dr. Weavers discount he is offering, that is what finally made the difference in my setting my surgery date because I am a cash pay. I set my date for December 22, 2011. I am very excited and ready to go. I begin my 2 week diet this Thursday, December 8. Dr. Weaver has me using the Adkins diet. Paula, Dr. Weavers dietician has already called and done my consultation over the phone. It took about an hour and I was so appreciative. She went over all the pre op and post op eating plans, the dos and don't and lots of great suggestions. I learned so much from her!! I am anxious to see more people posting for Dr John Weaver and hope to see this thread grow with lots of great support. Here we go...
