Hi all. I had surgery in 2/27 and live in Newtown. I met with dr marymor and liked him ok but then had an appointment with dr Eric Edwards at st Mary's. he was amazing!!! I would highly encourage you to at least meet with him.

I work for the state of nj and also have bcbs of nj and the covered everything. After surgery, I received my explanation of benefits and surgery costed -- ready for this--- 57,000 dollars and I paid ---$15. Sooo thankful for insurance but would have paid out if pocket as this surgery has saved my life.

Oh man wish I knew this earlier. I'm happy with Marymore at this point I'm 10 days away from surgery so couldn't do it anyway.

Can you say nervous? I am five yards past nervous. Surgery is 12:15 tomorrow. I keep looking at myself in the mirror wondering what it will feel like to look different. I can't believe this is really happening. Omg

Nervous is normal I think. Wow in 24 hours your new life begins. Someone is coming up with you? By the way They don't allow overnight guests.

You can do it!!!!! You will be so out if it. When I took a tour of the recovery room I saw a woman walking 4 hours after surgery. She looked tired but said she felt great!

On the liquid diet I went down a size. I freaked out when some of my clothes were too big. I can't imagine what I will do when I can't fit anything. Whenever I'm anxious I usually shop for clothes and I can't do that now.

That's great down a size. I'm on day three and its tough. Others are allowed food but just liquids is getting to me. How did you do it.

      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.
