Hi, I'm Hank and I have my sleeve scheduled for 12-04-12 with Dr. Binenbaum from Monmouth Medical Center. I am excited to start this journey and am looking to hear from anyone who has been sleeved at Monmouth, waiting to be sleeved in the area, and how you have done. Good luck to all, and can't wait to hear from you.

I'm originally from Spring Lake, NJ and did some of my nursing school at Monmouth Medical Center. My surgeon also did his residency there. You're in good hands. Best of luck with your journey! :)

Hi Hank- I am also from Central Jersey (exit 74). I had my surgery last week at SOCH in Manahawkin. So although I did not go to Monmouth for mine, they do have a great repuation, so I know you're in great hands! Although the hospital matters, just make sure you have the trust in the surgeon - that's where it really counts!

It's nice to hear from others in the area - good luck!

I am using Binni (as the office calls him) at Monmouth as well. I am scheduled for 9/25/12 and just had my pre adm testing done this past Fri. Getting nervous and psyched at the same time. I wish you good luck. I am happy with him so far...I am an RN so I know my docs...and how to deal with them. Hear good things about him.

One question...why not until Dec?

      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.
