Anybody from north Jersey? I'm in Ramsey. My surgeon is Dr. Eid and I am having surgery Nov. 10 at Hackensack.

Sorry I just seen this, I don't usually go on this site much, I spend most of my time with a great group on FB, called Bariatric Living & recipes. So please accept my apologies. I am always available on FB too or by email if anyone wishes to keep in touch. I do have to say I LOVE LOVE LOVE my sleeve, best thing I've ever done.Wish I never got the band. I don't ever throw up, have food stuck, and can eat whatever I want if I WANT TOO. I had my surgery Feb. 29th and have lost 35 lbs so far and feel great. Its slow but that is ok with me. SO if anyone is thinking about the sleeve, I say GO FOR IT! My doctor is great also, Dr. Edward Pucci out of Ridgewood, NJ, but he does have offices in NY too. Thats all everyone keep the faith and contact me if you want to be friends! Check out the Facebook group too!

I have done it and am pleased so far - it's a hard time (I am 2 weeks post op) but I am happy and it's getting better every day!

I had my revision done April 28 and it's the best thing I've ever done. I've lost 40 lbs so far (started at a lower bmi so have lost somewhat slowly). I love being able to eat normal food and not getting stuck. I'm able to focus on eating protein-rich food since you can only eat such small portions. My eating habits have changed completely.
Wish I did this procedure from the start.

Pennsauken here!!!

Born and raised in Cape May County, but haven't lived there since I graduated high school. I actually made a special trip up before my surgery so I could have a few of my favorites from the boardwalk: Macks pizza and some Curly's.

Hello,
I was lap banded 4 years ago and I hate it. I went through so much suffering - throwing up when it was too tight, but gaining weight when too loose. I gave up on it.
I am wondering if anyone can advise me as to whether the sleeve might be effective. I'm so distraught with the band.
Thank you

I'm fighting the "wanna get below 200" battle too. ????

Hey everyone! Hope you are all well. My surgery date was Feb 18th weight 260 now 220. I feel like I have hit a wall. My hair is now coming out in clumps and I have been eating my Protein. I need some encouragement. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I'm in north jersey anyone from up this way ?

I had my band removed over three months ago. My doctor said he likes to wait about 3 months to let the stomach heal and he has had better results doing this. I just had the Sleeve done Feb. 29th and I am doing great. I am on the pureed stage this is my 2nd week and getting alittle tired of the baby food. But I can do it. I also had problems with the port with my lapband and food getting stuck all the time.
Good things for us in the future!
