Dr suggestions? Thinking of going to Virtua in SJ.



Recommended Posts

So I wanted to go to Atlantic care but it's out of network.

My mother works for Virtua and refuses to let me see one of the drs in the practice but I was thinking of seeing Dr. Wasser.

It's fully covered since she works for the hospital but that is not a reason to pick them if others have had bad experiences recently. There are other Drs in the area that are in network, Virtua is just convenient.

I was also considering Kennedy healthcare near the lindenwold speed line, I think it is Dr Marc Neff (Not positive on the spelling of that) He isn't Virtua preferred but in network.

I was looking on here scrolling through old posts and I haven't really found anything current about Virtua other than stuff from 2013 or older.

So if anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear.

Thank you so much

HI Kristin

May I ask why your mom does not want you to go to anyone at Virtua?

I am using Virtua - Dr. Wasser in fact and I just got my surgery date December 6th.

I chose Virtua because it is convenient for me location wise and they have monthly support group meetings. That and they covered under my insurance.

My friend used Dr. Neff and loved him.

There is actually an informational meeting before the support group tomorrow night at the Moorestown location if you wanted to check it out.

I see Dr.Schurict. He is part of Penn and he attends at Pennsylvania Hospital in Philly but he does have an office in Cherry Hill. I have always gone to his Philly office. My surgery is scheduled for 11/23 he and his team have been awesome. My post open appt will be at the cherry Hill office. I don't know if Philly is too far north but the whole program there is great. My SIL had her suegery with him a year ago and she's done great.

      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.
