    Long Island Surgeons

    I went to her for a consult. My friend had used her about 1 yr ago. She was very professional. I like her and I considered using her. I used dr Larry Gellman from Great Neck. I am very pleased with my decision. I was sleeved 3/26 and my recovery has been very smooth. I went back to work after 1 week Feel free to ask me any questions. Good luck !
  2. Simply BEAUTIFUL!! You should be so proud of your accomplishment.

    I use skim milk. I vary between shaker bottle and using a ninja blender the powder blends very easy and smoothly either way

    I have been using UNJURY. You can only get it online. They ship fast,it usually arrives in two days. My favorite is the chocolate Splendor. I also like the chicken broth. If you get in touch with them they will send you a sample.

    Surgery scheduled!

    It takes a while to drink but I won't go to sleep until I have 3 shakes down!!!! I'm using the unjury products. You?? I found it easier to drink it using a Blender Bottle instead of my ninja. I like the ninja but they are too foamy for me at this time!!

    Fellow 3/26er All good here. So far it's been smooth for me. I'm able to take my Vitamins. I never needed any pain meds so I feel lucky! I've been able to get 3 shakes in daily. I need to increase my Water I take. I'm working on it each day. I'm planning on going back to work on Tuesday for the day and then taking 4 days off before returning full time. I figure I should easy my way back. Still burping often BUT no pain so no complaints! How has your recovery been??
  12. Ranjith I appauld your honesty and determination. You are young and wise to take control of your life. You are have a full life ahead. I was consistently overweight but never put myself ahead of others. At age 49 I decided to take care of ME!! I was sleeved 2 days ago. So far all went smoothly. No complaints!! I'm able to drink my Protein shakes. Make sure you follow your surgeons directions. It will produce success & you will love the new you Keep me informed if your progress. The world awaits the NEW Ranjith!!!
