I finally got my new site up, and I'd appreciate everyone's input! There is an "Ask the Doctor / Dietitian / Insurance Coordinator" section, forums (under "About our practice" don't ask me why).

Check it out, if you see any errors or have any good ideas just contact me through the site! It's www.TheBandDoctor.com

Hello Dr. C. Could you talk about the pre-surgical diet or what some refer to as "detox diet"? Thanks.

Hi Dr. C

Your site looks great! I am in the Cincinnati area and my daughter and I just returned from TJ, Mexico, Dr. Kuri performed our Lapbands. Would my daughter and I be able to do follow up care with you?

Also on our flight home I got really sick, nothing came up but I had three episode where I was dry heaving (sp?) and a very hard painful burp...I am hoping I did not hurt my stiches around the band, and I'm not sure what I did to cause this. Also, my pain is far below my port on the left side more in my pelvic/ovary area kinda of a burning pain is this normal? Thank you ~Jina

Hello Dr. C. Could you talk about the pre-surgical diet or what some refer to as "detox diet"? Thanks.

We put folks on a Medifast diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery. This functions to reduce visceral fat (fat inside the abdomen) and reduce the size of the liver to make laparscopic surgery easier.

Using this regimen I have never had to convert a lap band patient to open, so I think it works!

Wow- what a great site! I really would like to help my surgeon develop his baratric program as I think he is good, but he is just really new at doing them, only about 2 years or so. He is a general surgeon also. His program needs help, but I dont know how to go about approaching it with him.

Dr. C:

The link from the band dr estore back home has some broken text for images. None of them are showing up. Tried to find the error in the code, but without knowing the file names... I can't help. Any little typo will do it.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
