Try tristatebariatrics.com. It's the office of Drs. Kwon and Vinces who seem to do all the lapbands in Orange County. Their practice is incredibly supportive, from the surgeons themselves to the office staff, nurses, counsellors, nurse practioners, dieticians. Mauri Waldman holds a support group 3 times a week in the Middletown office that's a lifesaver, especially when you're down or struggling. Thier primary location is in Port Jervis.

Hi,

Currently I Live in Westchester and have a house in Monroe where I spend weekends. We plan to move to Monroe within the year. I was very happy to hear the information offered about the groups in Middletown. Do you know the times they are held. I work in Westchester and would have to do something at night.

      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.
