I used Dr. Edward Yatco He operates in Lenox Hill and office is down the block. Lost over 70 pounds since surgery in August. He accepts GHI and is a center of excellence. Good luck! Sent from my iPad using VST

I am 5 months out and 70 lbs down. We were displaced for 6 weeks because of hurricane Sandy so I didn't have my machine. Family said I snored. Also, I had eye surgery last week and while under, the doctor said he could tell II had sleep apnea because my O2 levels were down. So. I will keep the stupid machine until I reach goal, about another 40-59 pounda, then go for another sleep study. Sent from my iPad using VST

Hi. I was sleeved on August 20. Highest weight. 272 DOS. 261 Today 9/21. 233 So after lose to 5 weeks post op I've lost 28 lbs since surgery. I'm eating soft foods now, but I'm not very good in the kitchen and afraid of food. Still having trouble getting enough Protein and liquid in. Today I had 1 eg scramble with some cheese for Breakfast, 1/2 yo plait light for lunch and is now trying to finish 2 oz of tuna. I get full so fast it's ridiculous. But i miss food. I want to bite into something so badly. Going away for a one night getaway with my husband (business trip for him). Bring with me some instant cream of wheat, and several different Protein drinks just in case. It's good to hear for everyone. Sent from my iPad using VST

OMG. Vitamins not victims. But some of us might feel like victims. Lol.

When I started this journey, I played with different protein drinks. I use the priemier protein from Costco Also GNC has some nice ones Lots of companies let you order a bunch of single serve to sample. I purchased a magic bullet and some shaker cups. Every doctor is different. Most have a two week pre op diet. Some require lots of victims. Strangely mine has no pre op diet except a 24 hour clear liquid. I only had to get centrium chewables for afterwards. Start "training" now. The hardest part for me was to recognize when I was full and to stop eating. Still struggling with that one. Lately, I've been experimenting with making purees and eating yogurt. I hope my tastes do change because right now I hate yogurt and cottage cheese. BTW, my surgery date is 8/20. MONDAY! So today is my last day to "eat". Think we might make a trip to Red Lobster. Good luck to everyone. Keep reading these posts but remember to follow your doctors orders.

I'm in south Queens. I'm getting sleeved on 8/20/12 by Dr. Yatco in Lenox Hill Hospital

Hi all. I am being sleeved next Monday August 20th. What do you use to make your foods purée. I have a magic bullet. Is that enough? I hate Greek yogurt and really don't want to eat baby food. Also, what to you eat on full liquids besides protein shakes and yuke, yogurt.

Hi ChristeeeNYC. Based on your name, night you be from NYC. I will,be at Lenox Hill getting sleeved on 8/20. What about you? It's so so close I am starting to freak.

You are so right. I'm getting sleeved August 20. So soon! Lane Bryant, the Avenue, Mavys Women. I love to shop, even in those stores. Every summer, hubby and I go to the outlets as a date day. Not this year. This is the first summer I have no interest in clothes shopping. Took my 17 year old daughter clothes shopping and thinking that next year I might be table to shop at american eagle too. Cannot wait to find my own skinny style!

I'm from Queens. Getting sleeved on August 20 at Lenox Hill inManhattan. I thought surgeons had nuts and psychs as part of there practice. At least that was my experience. Good luck to you.

There was some blood work I needed to complete before insurance approval. My upper GI was required prior to my dr appointment one month before date My other bloods, urine, EKG and check x ray needed to be done within 2 weeks of my date (8/20/12). Always best to ask you doctor. There is usually a surgery coordinator that knows everything! Good luck.

This is excellent advise. Very clear "formula" for success. Mind if I write it down. I have a list of thing to live by on my iPhone.

I'm in Queens. Getting sleeved August 20th.

Change that to August 20th!!

How about a female will be sleeved on August 29th buddy? Getting it done in Lenox Hill. I live in Queens. Where are when are you getting yours.

I'm also having my sleeve done on August 20th. 8:30am, so I'm right behind you on line lol. Two weeks from this Monday!! , I've been playing around with different Protein drinks, got a supply of a few different ones, not too many of each. They say that our tastes will change afterwards. When my kids were babies, we use to make chicken Soup and strain the life out of it so it would flow through a bottle. My mom did that for mee and froze 1-2 oz servings. Are you traveling far? If so, you'll need to pack I'm having mine close to home, NYC, so I just got a new bathrobe with pockets to hold my insulin pump in the hospital. Good luck sleeve sister! Join our group on Facebook.
