Newbie here

Hello all! My name is Amanda and I am a newbie here. I have already had my consult appt with Dr Clark and my test taking psych eval as well as several other psych visit. AMy at Dr Clarks said she sent my paperwork in last week, I have to call her and make sure she sent it in . SO I am waiting to hear for approval. I have a few concerns and would love to hear from other Dr C patients. I haven't been told if I am expected to lose before surgery, liquid diet efore surgery, Vitiams after ( other than I have to take them). ANy and all advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this Amanda 276 5'9"

Hi Amanda, I am a 6 1/2 weeks post op, Dr Clark patient through the Community Hospitals Bariatric Program. I had my surgery at Community South (they treated me great!). I think it depends on your starting weight. I was 132 lbs overweight and I had to go on a 1200 calorie pre op diet for the last two weeks before surgery. The only time I was on just liquids was immediately after surgery. The Community Hospitals program has you attend a pre op class. During that class, they went over everything I needed to know: vitamins, pre op diet, post op diet, post op followup care, etc and got a big binder to take home with all of the info in it too. So don't worry, they will let you know virtually everything you need to know. And if you happen to think of something not covered, just give them a call. They are very willing to help. Good luck with your surgery and recovery. Cindy
