I was sleeved 5/10 and am down 20 lbs.

I'm 4 days also today I felt very gassy and had my first bm since last Tuesday. Pure liquid like too too much. I became diaphoretic and weak. Had some broth and a shower and feel much better. I'm on full liquids. I am down 12 lbs since Thursday morning.

I'm going in at 6:45am for surgery at 8:30am. I'm nervous and excited. Please pray for me.

I'm getting sleeved on May 10th with Dr. Mitchell Roslin.

WOW! Now that is the result I'm hoping for!

Hope you continue with a positive journey. I am scheduled at Northern Westchester with Dr. Roslin on May 10th. Keep sipping!

Just wanted to let you know that I got approved and will have surgery on May 10th with Dr. Roslin at Northern Westchester Hospital. Thank you for all your encouragement.

Glad to hear positive things about him. I am scheduled for surgery on May 10th with him at Northern Westchester Hospital.

I am scheduled for Northern Westchester Hospital. Same surgeon. I will remember the hot compress. Thank you for the tip. Have you had any regrets? Do you feel better? My BMI is around 40 but I am pre diabetic and have sleep apnea. Did you lose weight before surgery?

Hi All, I'm originally from the Bronx and now live in Westchester. I had a battle with insurance (ghi/bcbs) but now have a date of May 10th. Dr. Roslin is my surgeon. I'm nervousss and excited but so, so ready!

My surgery is scheduled for May 10th. I have not scheduled my GI series yet. The pre op testing - ekg, chest xray and labs need to be done less than 30 days before surgery. I am going to start cutting down the caffeine. I drink a lot of coffee. I will make my appointments this week. Right after Easter I will try to start a low carb diet in preparation. Please do not get frustrated or give up. It will happen for you. They are very good at what they do. After all the press yesterday about wls and diabetes, I'm sure it will happen. I will say a prayer and keep my fingers crossed for you.

I printed out some weigh in forms that I found on their website (Lenox Hill one) filled them out and my doctor signed them. I did not send stuff from weight watchers.

I gained weight! I did mostly weight watchers and tried Atkins and cheated like crazy! I was initially going to the gym but hurt my hip and stopped.

Have patience. You will get it. I am a nervous wreck thinking about the surgery but know I need it. I finished the diet in February. Roslin and his team are great at dealing with the insurance companies.

Just got word today that my external appeal overturned GHI's decision to deny. I'm anxious and nervous at th same time. I'm scheduled for surgery on May 10th at Northern Westchester Hospital. I can't believe I got approved.
