I'm in Central Jersey also....Manalapan.....my Dr. Is Dr. Doug Ewing from Advance Laproscopic.......

After removing the lapband bc of internal damage it caused bc it broke I was denied the sleeve....my bmi was too low. After the band was removed I gained the weight back and reached 35.2 BMI....the journey is not over bc my insurance UHC wants to see additional problems...my internist believes that with his letter and my six yr struggle I should get approved...but if I don't I too am considering MX.

Good luck and God bless! I had a very good experience with Dr. Noyan - other than I was the last surgery of the day and hadn't eaten or drunk for two entire days! He is super supportive and very encouraging. I am very happy with how my sleeve turned out!

I find the support group helpful, just to be with others who understand what you are experiencing and to get questions answered. Good luck!

I had my sleeve at the jersey shore on the 20th- had my post-op appointment on dec. 26th. was down 10 pounds. I have friends who were down 15-20 but im ok with my 10 because i have less to loose then them. First week i could barely eat a thing- now week 2 all I want to do is eat. I am sticking to the plan, but nervous i will over eat already! every diet has failed, scared this will too.

      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.
