Has anyone used Dr, David N dryer located in and affiliated with Centennial Medical Center. TN

Looking to get printed instructions from this surgeon/dieticians office. Do they say 500-700 until you get to maintenance? Maintaining calories 1000 life long? I've spoken with two patients. These are their instructions after sleeve surgery.

This is from the VSG manual; it isn't just Dr. Dyer, fyi. There are three surgeons in this practice, and they go by the same manual.

So you are limited to less than 500 calories per day until you hit goal? I may have read that incorrectly,

How did you do on 500? Was it realistic and sustainable ?

@Alex Brecher

You have Dr, David N Dyer and other surgeons at Centennial Medical Center. TN advertised on your site.

Have you ever seen instructions of 500 calories until you lost 75% of your weight??? I thought this was a mistake. But here is the surgeons instructions that patients are following.

This seems incredibly low. I'm not a medic, but I'm aware of calorie intake recommended for patients on complete bed rest. It's much higher than even the 800kcal pre-op diet too. Also thinking of the range of physiologies this covers if it's standard. Fascinated to see other opinions.

To his patients.

I'm not intending on making you feel negative about your surgeon's instructions. I apologise if this thread offends anyone. I'm just concerned.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
