I am being banded by Dr. Coon in Riverside, California on Monday and was looking for anyone that is alos his patient so that maybe we can chat and become friends. Have a great day.

I have dr. coon! :thumbup:) I acutaully just had surgery on 12/11 so I guess I would be the perfect person to talk to if you have any questions on the hospital your going to be staying at or anything else you may be curious about.:confused_smile:

I had my surgery yesterday and had it done at Rancho Specialty Hospital everything went well he had to repair a hernia at the same time and I came home 6 hours later. Did you have paid on your shoulder thats what seems to hurt me the most. Lets keep in touch.

When I got out of surgery and they had me in the recovery room I felt like a bus hit me....the gas was making my back hurt real bad. You're lucky...not only did you have less gas pain but they didn't keep you in as long. I was submitted into riverside parkview hospital and stayed overnight and released at 11 pm the next night. Im dying right now because this liquid diet is killing me. I'm hungry and I can't sleep for some reason. Im use to sleeping on my stomach so i think that might be it but goodness...im hoping it passes.

I am sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. Are you getting in enough protein. That takes away the hunger. I am adding protein powder to my soup and shakes. It really helps.

I'm in my precert phase with Dr. Coon. I see these post are about a month old now. Any more Doc Coon feedback? So far (1 visit) I like him.

I'm not worried about Lq diets post op because I go on them for fun as part of my regular failed diet attemps.
