I haven't posted here probably ever, but I just got notified that my insurance has approved my surgery and I am scheduled for 07/08/09 (interesting date huh) and I was wondering if anybody knew of any support groups in the Bridgewater / Somerville / Hillsborough / Manville / Raritan areas?

Thanks for any assistance folks.

Hey there. I'm in Hillsborough too. I attend the monthly support group at St. Peter's Hospital run by Advanced Laporoscopic Surgeons (Dr.s Abkin and Bertha - great practice by the way). One Thursday a month at 7pm.
The road to success is always under construction.

Congrats on your surgery date!!! You're in great hands with Dr. B!!!!  Which surgery are you going to have? I had the Realize Band on May 19th...doing great, Dr. Abkin was awesome!!!
That may/may not effect the times of your support meetings!!!
Good luck and keep us posted!!!

Thanks everyone for the kind thoughts.

The procedure I am having is the roux-en-y gastric bypass.  It is to be performed laparoscopically but as I've had previous abdominal surgeries, who knows what may happen.

Quick question for those of you in the know.  Immediately following the surgery, when we are supposed to have only clear liquids, what was your protein drink of choice?

Later on when you move to soft moist foods, do you just mix in some protein powder with every bowl of mush?

Thanks for any advice.
