  1. Thanks for the replies--- I'm seeing Dr.Ren at NYU will have to postpone everything because of all the devistation on Long Island NY where I live (( just hoping my insurance approves the surgery
  2. I was just wondering why so many people go to Mexico to have the sleeve done??
  3. Well I finally decided to have the Sleeve done. I was thinking of having the band at first but after lots of research I think the sleeve is a better way for me to go. It seems to be more successful )) now waiting for insurance to be approved . Would love to hear about some weight loss success stories if anyone cares to share .
  4. Hi thanks for your reply and good luck with your surgery if you can keep in touch let me know how your doing post op )
  5. Hi my name is Colleen and I'm doing all the pre - paper work for the Sleeve I saw the surgeon at NYU and dietitian and psychologist. They still have to submit to my insurance which is NYC Transit BC/BS . I'm praying they approve me. Very scared about the surgery and how I'm going to do 2 weeks of liquids prior !! Tell me how your doing and any advise would be appreciated ) Thank You
  6. Hi I hope your doing better and good luck on your journey )) I go see a surgeon on Wednesday this week and I will talk about the sleeve and the Lap band I'm undecided what should I do ??? Did you think about the band at all ??
  7. Wow you look great !! I go next week to speak to a surgeon at NYU . I'm still not sure ?? I was thinking of doing the Gastric sleeve but the thought of cutting my stomach makes me very nervous so I'm now leaning towards the Lap band . Do you still feel the hunger ? Can you give me any input ?? Thank you
  8. I go see a surgeon at NYU next week and I wanted to know if getting the gastric sleeve done is better than the lap band ??
