No because of my insurance I found a doctor in Vineland, an hour away. Forty minutes how I drive lol. But its ok this week I've been up there there damn times for different appointments plus my grandmothers house is along that way so I spend extra time with her on my way back. Vineland is right after Mays Landing.

Mines is Dr. Attia

Oh ok! Vineland's not that far of a drive anyway. I'm with Dr. Onopchenko, so the surgery will be in the city at AtlantiCare.

Yes, one of my friends gave me his name at first but I could never remember it. But I'll try and go to the post support groups closer to me because I'm tired is driving. Just have to get a schedule. I wish you all the best of luck

Cumberland County here.. Dr. Attia is my Surgeon. He seems to be a pretty cool person. Calm, personable, & he seems like he really cares. (Not so stiff & rigid like some other docs. Please share your experience with him as well. :)

      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.
