Well I guess you will never guess who said that? We went to my cousins 1st postop appointment and thats what the great Dr. S told her. Anybody who tells you you need more than 40 grams of protein a day is NUTS! I about feel the fruck out of my chair. WTF? Then I had his packet that he gives telling you how to eat for the surgery the first 4 weeks. So I say to him "Well it says here that during week 2 you should at least get 60-70 and week 3 70-80 and week 4 90 minimum of protein." His reply was "Oh funny you read that my patients never even read that. But yeah that packet is outdated and old." Then he goes on to tell her that the way she is to eat is by this weekend she will start eating. For 1 month she is to eat nothing but fish and egg salad and gave examples: tuna, salmon, any canned fish. During the 2nd month she will eat fish and shelled fish and tuna salad. He said he will add one source of protein per month until she is able to eat it may take about 6 months. HUMM He told my cousin he gives larger sleeves. Hers should hold 4-5 ounces or about a half a cup. Post op report says he used a 42 bougie and used several rows of staples making the pouch not tight but loose.
He had a waiting room full of band seekers or unsatistisfied banders or new band patients. Needles to say that the banders are pissed and seeking revisions. One lost only 80 pounds and regained 60. One lost 40 pounds since 2011 in the first three months after surgery and never lost another pound still leaving her 1-2 hundred pounds over weight. I gave out the websites address and suggested they research more and come talk to you guys. One of the patients, who had a band now looking for a revision, I believe may have gotten on her I Pad right then and started doing research. She is a self pay. I expressed I would go to Mexico before letting him touch my ingrown toe nail!
The word is he is now suggesting the sleeve. But Idk
