Ahhhhh i wanted lenox hill my bro had his there 13 yrs ago but im going thru montefiore in the bronx was your process long @@LuckyStar

thanks for asking @bornthisway622, Montifiore is a great Hospital. To answer your question, I started this process in October 2014, but I didnt have any requirements as others do for insurance purposes; once I decided I was really going to go through with the procedure, I completed my paperwork and exams in a very short amount of time, all together I was prepared in about 3months. Because of my insurance (Medicare) I did not have to wait a year or 6 months, not even 3 months, this was just the time it took me to decide and do research. With Medicare one can complete all exams and requirements in one month.

@@bornthisway622, I feel you when you say you want to tuck in your shirts, I would like to wear belts and be able to paint my toes without getting all bent out of shape (this among other things I struggle with b/c of weight). I am also scared and excited, I have just two days to go before my procedure (Monday morning).

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
