Guys, thank you for all the good replies!

Hi Everyone! I am in Bergen County NJ but having my surgery at Mountainside with Dr. Strom on 12/21. I'm very excited and only a little scared of the unknown after surgery? Any have any experience with this hospital? Words of advise?

I'm glad I came across your post! I too am a food addict. I'm an emotional eater, food is my best friend, my diary, my companion. The love affair ends December 21st and while I'm not concerned about the surgery, I AM concerned that I may have some time of separation anxiety. Most people would laugh at that - I'm sure most of you will understand. I live in a house of "foodies". 2 boys (18/16) and my boyfriend. We legitimately enjoy our food. I worry that after the surgery, I am going to be faced with hard times managing my wants to eat with them.

Yayy - congrats! Good for you!

What a great idea! I would love to join this group! I am scheduled for 12/21. Having my preadmission testing tomorrow and starting my liquid diet Monday! When is your surgery? People who know think I'm crazy having this done RIGHT before xmas but heck - no time like the present! LOL this is the best time of year with work that I can take time off - besides, I figured the winter is a good time to bundle up and loose weight and when spring/summer rolls around, I'm "ready" ! SUPER excited, can you tell!?

I am scheduled for 12/21! PreAdmission Testing tomorrow!

OMG Congrats! You're going to do great! Sending you good VIBES! Please keep us posted!
