He is chief of bariatrics at good Sam. He is a wonderful dr. He's done hundreds of sleeves. Revisions as well. His number is 631-587-5800.

It looks like you are doing great with the sleeve. Anything you regret? How llong have you had it? What made you choose the sleev over other surgeries?

He's the head of bariatrics at good samaritian hospital in west islip. He definitely doesn't favor one over another. He holds a seminar with your options and tells you the positives and negatives of each and goes into detail on each surgery. I suggest you go to a few seminars at different places and see which surgeons you like the most

You all are very close to me! I'm in NJ and using Dr Nusbaum in Livingston, NJ. He did my band and will be doing my band to sleeve. I love him and the office.

My husband and I used Dr Vulpe in Staten Island. He was great and his office staff is too. They run an excellent program. I highly recommend him!

To the Jersey City Member,

I live in Orange County New York but after research chose Dr, Edward Pucci. He has offices in Ridgewood NJ. I had my surgery at Englewood Hospital. They were wonderful, he was wonderful, his staff are wonderful. I feel lucky to have found him.

He is in a practice with his two brothers, Anthony and Richard. I have met them all and they are all very nice and helpful.

It may be worth checking them out.

      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.
