Hello everyone, I'm from central Jersey. I'm having my surgery Wednesday @ Robert Wood Johnson New Brunswick. I'm excited, nervous, anxious, you name it...lol I just want to get it over! I have been on my liquid diet, and working my booty off at the Gym, needless to say I can't wait for start of my new life!

Do you have the Protein drinks? My nutritionist recommended Atkins-lift Protein Drinks - it has 20g of Protein in 16oz, Soups (Campbell's cream of chix, or Tomato Soup or chix broth) I made cauliflower Soup and added plain protein in it. I googled to get ideas. Jello, pudding, Protein shakes

I actually called them first, but they only take out of network coverage and I have Horizon Omnia. Dr. Sadek is doing my surgery, he also has an office in Freehold which is where I would see him; however I'm having my surgery at RWJ since it's tier 1 which means my surgery is covered 100%, I'm just paying $250 copay for the one night that I'm staying inpatient.

Sandee, this is for pre-op, or post op?

Camden County, NJ here. Just starting the process. I have my seminar on 2/10. It's great to hear everyone's stories. Nice to know what to look forward to.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
