Dr. Adam Goldstein..is He Worth Switching For?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I currently have a great doctor way up in N NJ however the doctor has become very slack with me and his office staff really has issues with follow through. I have become a bit disenchanted with all of them. I have moved just down the road from Voorhees and when I did a search on this lap band topic Dr. Adam Goldstein's name came up with a very high rating.

I move here from Missouri a bit over a year ago and had a pioneer in the lap band process and was extremely happy with him but then moved. Although my current doctor is amazing his lack of response to my concerns really is bothering me. My medical insurance runs out at the end of the month and I have according to the insurance met all pre-exsisting conditions of my medical policy and really need to have some thing looked at before the end of this month by someone who is GOOD at what he does.

Input needed soon as possible I need to make a call Monday for this doctor depending on what feedback I get.

Thanks so much for your help

Michele

This problem seems to a common problem with most bariatric surgeon offices. I had signed on with Dr Snyder in Denver and had clearance for surgery but couldn't get anyone to call me back. I went to a different Dr and had the surgery. But even the new Dr.'s office had bad communication skills. It seems to be quite common from what I've seen. I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule but it's a low %.

I know I am way way late on this...but Dr. Goldstein is the s@$t! He really is a great guy. He knows what he is doing. His office has tons of resources. I just started using his in office nutritionist...she is awesome too. Goldstein is great at what he does, has a great sense of humor, and I trust him completely. Make the switch!!!

      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.
