Dr. Pucci NY/NJ ~ Oradell Surgical Ambulatory Center??



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I'm scheduled for surgery on May 9th with Dr. Richard Pucci. I've heard great things about Dr's Pucci(s) ~ they are 3 brothers in same practice located in Suffern, NY and NJ. Wanted to know if anyone out knows of Dr. R. Pucci? Good experiance?

Also, Dr. recommended I have surgery at Oradell Surgical Ambulatory Center vs. Good Samaritan Hospital ~ he states that center is state of art and the attention/after care rec'd by nurses will be better here. Anyone heard of this center? Experiances?

SOOO nervous about all of this so any feedback will help. Thanks.

I just had Dr. Rich do my surgery on Friday......one word..........AMAZING! I have never seen a doctor care so much for his patients. He is thorough but is the nicest guy. I had my surgery done at Good Sam and I can't say enough about the staff. They had me sooooooo at ease. The nurses were all terrific, the anesthesiologist was incredible, and the other surgeons (who I can't remember because I was under) must have been fantastic because my recovery has gone without a hitch. The nurses at good sam even called me the next day to ask how I was doing.

I wish you the best of luck (Not that you'll need it with Dr. Rich). Please keep me posted on your progress and let me know how everything went. If you have any other questions please feel free to message me :)

Pam ,

Thank you soooooo much. You have made me feel more at ease. I am supposed to have surgery at the Oradell surgical Ambulatory Ctr. but I'm thinking of switching to Good Sam ~ its closer to home.

Again thank you ~ I will definately be keeping in touch.

Good luck on your journey ;0)

HI Isabella2, I am a pt of Dr. Anthony Pucci, and am schedual to have my surgery at Good Sam on May 13th, very excited. Anyway, a co-worker of mine just had her surgery at Good Sam last week, and said everything was great. We work in a hospital, X-ray techs, and she said that everything from the registration to the nurses and Doctors were above and beyond. She said she was in and out before she knew what hit her. Best of luck, keep us posted.

      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.
