Moving to NJ



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

Happy Holidays to one and all! I have a job up in Piscataway, NJ and will be arriving up that way the last week of January. I am so very excited but at the same time a nervous wreck, I know NO one there and once again it is time to make more new friends.

I NEED to find a great doctor! I want the best one not just one who does this lap band process...The doctor I now have here in St Louis is simply the best and I will not settle for anything less no matter where I go.

If you know of a doctor please let me know as time is of the essence!

Thanks a ton

Michele

I live in North Jersey. My doctor is great, his name is Vadim Gritsus, he has offices in Pequannock and Paramus. His staff is also very nice.

Hi

I live right near you in Somerset-- However- I go to Staten Island to Dr. George Ferzli here is his website http://www.drferzli.com/

I was beyond happy with him and his staff. They have a very supportive program and its laid out very clearly. Ferzli is very well known around the world and has been one of NYC top drs for years. Hope this was helpful. You can email me if you have any questions. Also he is only about 30 mins from you in NJ.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
