Hi All.

FYI The center does not perform the surgery; it's done in the hospital.

I chose Dr Eid and will go to Pascack Valley in Westwood God willing. I'm set for Jan 29th.

If your in northern NJ why not go to NYC. I was at NYU. If you have a complication you don’t want to be in a ‘center’ you want to be in a multidisciplinary full hospital.

Hackensack UMC is where many North Jersey patients go. One of the best in the area according to my research.

WELL SO much Drama but surgery was cancelled. Longgg story short: Thursday an abnormal chest x-ray (from DEC) sent me to ER for CAT scan with contrast... walking pneumonia. Antibiotics given. Monday comes and anesthesiologist cancels the surgery due to this, even though chest x ray is now clear. I left and got chest x ray redone and waiting on clearance again so I can have surgery on Monday Feb 5th. Anybody been to Pascack?? Also did this situation ever happen to someone?

      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.
