Who had Dr Abkin?



Recommended Posts

So, i'm scheduled for Feb 5th with Dr abkin, who had their surgery done with hom? I go for my 3 hours class tomorrow, just wondering what to expect? Did Dr. Abkin require a pre-op diet? When I went in for my initial consult he told me that as long as I didn't gain any weight, I would have to do a liquid, just the day before. I'm just nervous, this is as close as Ive come to actually getting this done, last time I tried, I got pregnant with twins. Ok, need to get to listening to this call for work. Be back later.

I had my surgery on 11/6 done by Dr. Bertha and I would assume since they are out of the same office that they follow the same rules. I didnt have a pre-op diet except for liquids the day before. there entire office staff is very helpful. When I went for my 3 hour class there were only 2 of us there so it was very 1 on 1 and also very helpful. Just go in with an openmind to absorb it all in. I have never had any problems other then waiting to be seen but that is to be expected with such a busy office.

Dr Abkin did my surgery last month. One day of Clear Liquids before hand. The nurse-practitioner does the class. It's very informative. It does take the whole 3 hours. My class was full.

Best wishes!

I had Dr.Abkin do my surgery March 06, and Dr Bertha to do my fills. I think they are both great doctors and have a great office staff. I find them both to be very honest with giving you answers to your questions,and both are willing to work with you to reach your goals lol you just have to be honest with them and yourself if you aren't doing what they tell you.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
