Yes, it is! I'm not nervous yet! Just taking my 2-week pre-op diet day by day. You'll be fine! Just RESEARCH until you know as much as possible.

I went to school at Kean University, so I'm very familiar with Northern Jersey.

Hi where are you having your surgery and with which Dr? I will be having my surgery with Dr. Forrester.

Another Jersey girl here! I'm in Monmouth County and will be having surgery in November. My surgeon will be Dr. Binenbaum. I heard he's excellent. I'm getting preop stuff done. My endoscopy is Tuesday and cardiologist the week after. I'm getting excited!

I'm having my surgery at Hackensack Hospital with Dr. Trevedi... He was recommended to me by my friend who had it done a year ago.

Also from North Jersey. I was sleeved on December 12, 2012. Everything going really well. Very happy with my decision. Super smooth recovery and, though I wish I was losing faster, I am very satisfied.

Good luck!

      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.
