I'm from Lyndhurst, I am also a Dr. Schrope patient. I agree,Meredith and the entire staff are fantastic. I was in Valley for my endoscopy yesterday and if that was any indication of the care at Valley, we are in good hands.

Julie called me today to let me know insurance gave approval! I already had my date but now they can erase the temporary circle that was drawn around it.

Whoo hoo!

My 1st apt with the dr was on 9/12. Met with nut and psych on 9/18. Scheduled that day for surgery for 10/16 but was considered temporary till Julie heard back. Had 1st apt w/ gastro on 9/20 and endo set for 9/28. Preop apt on 10/9. Jyst flying through the process. My friend has same insurance so I already knew through her what I would need and that insurance covers surgery 100%.

      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.
