lady zique

He is very nice, but I have found out yes his office is always packed and he is always late. He told me the same thing and this is not working. I asked him for a fill and got a little lecture sort of like the information he gave you. I have only lost 8 ounds and I struggle everyday to keep those off. I go up and down. I am so frustrated. He did agree to give me a fill but I wonder? I still have no restriction and can eat wahtever I want. Everyone I know that has the band says you have to get to the right fill spot and then you are in business. He told me about getting my mind right and not to eat after 7 and I know all that works but if I had the will power to do all that without any help I would not need him. I really regret right now picking him as my surgeon and I feel like this is not going to work for me.

Thanks this my 8th day post op and feeling much better today I'm actually going out today with my son to get a cake for dad and make a run in walmart real quick. It's going ok I just thought I would have lost more weight by now but I'm trying to stay positive and just move forward. I go to my doc Monday fpor my first post op visit real curious to see what he has to say. Oh well United was a joy to work with. They were very nice when I called and they really didn't require much and I got my approval in 5 business days.

I used Dr Alanis and I ahve been dying o try and find some of his other patients, who are you using.

Hi all well it's my 6th day out and I can't believe I'm still having this crazy gas issue. One day it will get better and then here it is again. Feeling much better other than that. I go to doctor Monday and is hoping he says I can start soft foods. Not really starving, but I'm getting kind of worried because my stomach is starting to growl a little. Well I have only lost 5 pounds sense surgery as well. I don't know today I was just feeling a little down I need some encouraging words.

Pray for me I go in tomorrow at 5:30 the day has finally come I'm nervous but ready. I will post to let you all know how it went and my expereince. I was really kind of emotional today as well. Is that normal?

OK jazzy Junes and everyone else wish me well. I go in tomorrow at 5:30 am I cant believe it's finally here. Kind of nervous but I'm ready. I will post and let you know how I'm doing

Thanks for sharing I get banded June 5th and I start liquid diet tomorrow I'm kind of stressing but your psot made me feel a little better.

Ok I'm getting ready as well I start the pre -op diet tomorrow and I'm like ok can I do this? But I will try with all my might. For some reason reality kicked in about Tuesday and I was eating everything in sight. Like I was never going to see food again. My surgery is June 5th this coming thursday. A part of me is excited and part nervous and a part wants to back out. I will ahve to stay overnight was wishing they would send me home same day but doctor says he makes everyone stay overnight. But I keep thinking of myself losing weight and thinking of how happy I will be. But then I keep thinking what if this doesn't work too well for me and I don't lose as much. I know about 2 people I work with and they have not really lost anything and it's been a while. But I will stay positive and just try and experience my own journey here. Ok I will count on all of you to be my support system here since I'm not telling anyone in my family just husband. I did tell a few co-workers. Anyway anoyone from Houston and using Dr Alanis? Tiff

Can you please tell me what kind of pain medication you were prescribed post op. I'm allergic to vicodin so I was just wondering I'm sure they would send you home with something.

Yes m doc said don't pcik up anything over 10 pounds for 6 weeks

Just got my date June 5th

I got my date today and everything went really fast. I have all kinds of emoitions as well. I havn't told anyone in my family except husband of course. I feel kind of scared and actually thought about cancelling. Today i just kind of felt depressed after coming from the doctor when I should be happy. I really think it is kind of like I'm mourning food right now. But I know once I start losing and see that it's not that bad and I wake up from surgery i will start to feel happier. My date is June 5th

Went today for my pre-op visit my date is going to be June 5. Getting kind of nervous will start shopping for some of my stuff this weekend. he said I will ahve to stay over night.

Well called today to give me a date it's set for June 3rd 2 weeks from now. I go tomorrow for my pre-op visit with the doctor I was wondering can anyone tell me what this visit consist of?

I really liked him, he was very professional and had a really nice bedside manner. I felt really comfortable with him. No his office was not packed and I really did not wait long to see him. I had to take my son with me sicne he was sick and I didn't want to cancel and he even sparked up a conversation with him. I just found out today I'm approved and now I'm waiting on a date. His office staff is always nice and friendly when I call. I had United as well and things went very smooth.
