Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hi Pam I totally understand the excited and scared at the same time. I hear nothing but praise about dr baggs and that he is very handsome.................... congrats on the ten pound loss ! sounds like things are really rolling for you and your right , i dont think any other program educates patients on this surgery more than Kaiser.

I am impressed how everyone is taking care that you are ready, and are supported along the way. The nutrition class answered some of my questions about postop eating. Someone asked why we weren't supposed to have protein shakes. She said that it was because the liquid doesn't stay in your pouch long enough,which causes you to be hungry sooner. I have an appointment with my surgeon, Dr. Baggs,on July 5. How is he compared to the other doctors?I am happy that I've lost 10 pounds and have 20 more to go. I am excited and scared at the same time.Pam (Pammagail) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Hi Pammagail, how are you? I read your post and feeling excited and scared is part of the process. All healthy. Dr. Baggs...well now...let me just say...there is no comparison... Well, I can't compare him to anyone really as I never had encounters with Dr. Fisher and Dr. Park was my primary surgeon while Dr. Baggs assisted. They really are all great Surgeons. I have not heard anything negative about either of them. All I can tell you is that he is so sweet. He is caring and he LISTENS. You are in great hands with Dr. Baggs so you can rest on that part of the deal. The staff at Richmond are great to. They have your best interest at hand and are going to do everything in the power to see to it that you are a success with the surgery. I am so proud of your 10 pound loss. Hang in there and the rest will come off and you will be posting about your surgery date. Take care.
