That's awesome! My insurance needs 6 months proof of visits so December marks the 6th month and I'm praying everything turns out well so I can't get my surgery before new years. Do u have presurgery jitters? I'm starting to get a little nervous.

I'm just starting out. Going to have mine done at Jefferson in Philly. Got my first meeting on 10/4 then meet with Dr foe 3 hrs on 10/10. I quit smoking cold turkey once I read that you had to be nicotine free for at least 30 days.

Hi, I'm in south jersey. I had my sleeve on 8/15 at Kennedy hospital. This surgery was the best thing that I have ever done for myself. Good luck on your journey!

Hi On The Way! I'm a patient of Dr. Neff's too (he's so great!). I was sleeved in Jan '12 and am down 108. Do you know about the Washington Township and Voorhees support group meetings? They're great and I started going when I was pre-op. I'd love to tell you anything you anything I can - I know I had so many questions pre-op. Best wishes!!

I've gone to a couple of the support meetings and they have been very informative. I plan to start going again next month.

      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.
