Brady38 - I am a patient of Dr. Neff's. He's great! I was sleeved on Jan. 31 - you can see my stats below. I attend the support group meeting in Voorhees second Tues. of every month. Very helpful group of people. My experience has been all positive and I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Neff and his staff. Best wishes!!

Thank you for sharing your experience with Dr. Neff. I can't believe I'm getting sleeved in 2 days.

I didn't see your stats. Do you remember how long you stayed in the hospital? What were your stats and how long did it take you to reach your goal? Thanks

Just getting started here and am excited about all the positive comments. I have a tentative date for 11-27. Starting to work on eating changes now and more exercise to get some off pre-op. Was wondering if anyone had their surgery done at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch? Thanks. Hank

Hi.. I was sleeved march 19th at overlook with dr. Goyal too!! Love him! I have had no issues at all! He's amazing..

Unfortunately my paperwork was sent out 3 months early (needed to complete 6 months of NUT visits not 3) and i was denied.

New surgery date is Nov 5. Hopefully this time around i wont have any problems.

Brady38 - in answer to your question, I've just reached the 100 pound mark, but I have a ways to go get to goal. I lost 31 pre-op and 69 since (I was sleeved on Jan. 31). I stayed only one overnight in the hospital (Kennedy Stradford).

      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.
