It took me quite a while to get everything for the approval but when I finally got my approval letter I made an appointment for Dr Goldstein's office and when I went in they scheduled me that day for surgery. So that appointment was on January 25th and that day they scheduled my surgery for 2/16 it was a very close date I was surprised myself I thought I would have to wait until march or later. As for the Pre-op diet it's 2 weeks partial liquid diet. Each day consist of 3 shakes 2 snacks and a small 400 calorie meal which was a lean protein veggies and a healthy carb like brown rice. I bought the book from their nutritionist in the office I think it 10 dollars or so and it had the diet and example meals you could follow. The very last day before surgery though is all liquid. Looking back I am very thankful he only makes you do a partial liquid Pre-op diet other people I've talked to had to do only liquids. Good luck to you I hope everything works out

Hi there,I am in Salem County also I will be having mine done in Vineland with the Dr. Iqbal. I am also in Salem County and went with Dr Goldstein in Cherry Hill..I absolutely love him everything went great and he uses glue to seal the incisions. My scars are healing great and I'm only 8 days post op!!

Kennedy Hospital in Stratford, NJ has support groups too. I was wondering if anyone knew of any online support groups like on Facebook

I was sleeved on the 16th and I'm kinda worried about not getting all of the protein and liquid in does any one have tips

I was told that Gummies weren't good because they don't break down well or go through the stomach smoothly. During my 2 weeks Pre-op I was told not to take any vitamin supplements. I just got chewables or soft gel capsules

My date is Feb 16th starting my pre-op diet tomorrow kinda nervous, excited, and confused all at the same time.
