Im in Midwood Park, and that is near Flatbush. Yea, I think Dr. Gorecki is the main guy there. I think there is only suppose to be one other doctor but I never see him.

I worked as an RN in their ER in the mid 80s. My son and his wife had their Baby there last December, my mom broke her ankle in the hospital doorway on the way to see her great grand baby being born and ended up in the ER the same day. i was not impressed by their nursing care. I hope it is better for you.

I had my son there as well as my surgery, both times I was treated well. I went to visit a friend though, and they forgot a few things that should have been done. I think it just may not be consistent, however from personal experience with other Brooklyn hospitals, Methodist is pretty good. I went with Gorecki because my friend had her surgery done almost ten years ago, and is well. I had one other recommendation. So him mostly sold me. I hear Lenox Hill is good. NY pres is the best hospital in the country. Too far for me though. Im happy.

      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.
