Recommended Posts

Hi all....my surgery is set for Friday, the 29th and I'm hoping to find someone that has used the same surgeon as me so I can know what to expect. If so, please let me know cause my nerves are fried and I could sure use some encouragement. I especially hope to hear some great experiences with Dr. Jay so if you have any.....please, please let me know. Thanks.

Dixie, I have heard of him. I have heard both good and bad stuff - but you know how that goes.

He also has an office in Ferris, not far from where I live.

REALLY BAD NEWS...DO NOT go to Dr. Fred Maese. He has ruined me for life. He is NOT a surgeon, and you can look him up on the Medical Board sight and he has complaints. PLEASE protect yourself.:)

I just scheduled a fill with him. I was going to Dr. Maese, but am changing for the same reasons as everyone else has with regard to his care. My questions are:

1. Is Dr. Jay agressive with his fills?

2. If he fills me too tight, will he do an unfill free of charge, or will I have to pay another $250.00? (Dr. Maese usually gives a week to return free of charge, if the fill is too much)

I haven't posted on this thread for a while but I am now just hoping someone will see it and check it out.....I started this thread just want to check and see what people thought of Dr. Jayaseelan (Dr. Jay), my lap band surgeon. This man is the best! I can't begin to say how wonderful he is, both as a surgeon and human being! He goes out of his way to support his patients. He goes above and beyond that most doctors would ever do for his patients. If anyone is looking for a doctor in the Dallas area, you couldn't ask for a better doctor to trust your lap band journey to than Dr. Jay! I told him not too long ago that he is one of my heroes and he truly is. The procedure he did for me and his fantastic support gave me my life back!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
