I was sleeved yesterday the 10/10/2016.... no one can prepare you for this. Yesterday was really bad, I did pass the leak tests. Today is not so bad but I am having a hard time with my liquids.

I had my vertical sleeve done Dec 22nd in Vineland nj. Dr. Iqubal was my surgeon he is top notch. I traveled 2 hours to get to his office because I have Horizon NJ Health. It took 7 months of visits every 2 months before my surgery was approved. I am very happy and losing weight slowly but surely and feel better everyday. Great team of surgeons and office staff

Two hours? Where do you live? I have Horizon NJ and had no problem in Manahawkin NJ.

I went to Dr Trivedi at Advanced Laproscopic Associates in Paramus,NJ. Had the surgery done at Hackensack University Medical Center. Doctor is great, the nurse practitioner Nadia is awesome. After that the practice free falls. The receptionists seem bothered when you walk in, like in most Dr's offices I suppose . The 2 case managers I had were dumb, don't return phone calls and one barely spoke English. The nutritionists I saw just kept saying "follow what's on the sheet" and seemed like they couldn't wait to go. All that said I'd go back because of my Dr and the nurse practitioner. I now consult an outside nutritionist.

I had my procedure on 4-20-17 with dr Botvinov who is a partner with Dr Abkin in Edison and Florham park. Their staff is phenomenal and my procedure is going good so far although I do have really intense pain right now :(

      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.
