Hello Im New not banded in Mounmouth County NJ



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, my name is Debbie and have been thinking about getting banded for about a year now. I am ready to really start finding out what this entails. I have been on weight watchers numerous times but always gained it back. Please let me know all you can about this procedure. Where should I go to look for a doctor in Monmouth County. All I have found so far are up north and from what I read I have to see this surgeon alot and I dont want to drive too far from my house. I will search this forum to find out what I can but would love to hear from expierience people out there especially in Monmouth County NJ.

Thanks!:hurray:

Hi Debbbie, my name is Laurel and I live in Ocean county but did live in monmouth county until 5 yrs ago. I used Dr. Washington of Central Jersey Bariatrics, They also go under ESA. He operates out of Bayshore and Centra State. I had my surgery on 12/15 at Centra State. He does have seminars on a regular basis. I went to one in August. I have been happy with all of the doctors that work out of there. If I could answer any questions I would be more than happy too. Good luck to you. Laurel

      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.
