My doctor was Ramos-Kelly. He's wonderful and always there for you. I stayed at Nova Hospital and at the Lucerna Hotel very luxurious.

My surgeon was Dr. Christopher Kollar in Saddle Brook, New Jersey. The hospital was Chilton Memorial in Pompton Plains, New Jersey.

Dr. Kollar is a General Surgeon with over 20 years experience. He is kind and compassionate. Chilton is a small hospital, and my experience there was great. Everyone on staff was good-natured, attentive and supportive.

She did an amazing job speaking to my list of concerns/questions in out first meeting. She's hard to understand sometimes but usually my fiancée catches what I don't.

My surgeon was Laura July and the operation was performed at Unity Hospital, Fridley, MN. The hospital was great and Dr. July outstanding - she's very involved in making sure all questions are answered and every aspect addressed. The staff at the hospital were gentle and caring - very enthusiastic about all of us who received bariatric surgery that day and our success.

      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.
