I was sleeved on 09/02/14. Constipation was the worst part for me especially since before the surgery I would go twice a day. I used the miralax and still didn't work as I expected it too, then ate prunes still. But with time it goes back to normal buy it really takes a few months, annoying buy true. As far as the slowing down with the weight loss. It also happened to me for about a month but it continued after and has been happening. Know that after 3 months you will lose less every month. Not as much as in the beginning. Day of surgery I weighed 235 I'm 160 today.

Chubbsey1 As far as your question if NYU is a bad choice not at all, but I didn't have the patience for them. I was going to them for a over a year, they were giving me meds, shakes all the things I've tried for many years. So good luck hopefully the process won't take as long for you. Also someone said Dr. Koshy was sued before. The most important thing is to be positive. Anything can happen with the best Dr. in the world. Errors happen everyday, people don't understand that even if it worked for someone it may not work well with you because of your own body or before surgery protocol wasn't followed by the patient. Good Luck wish you well.

I had my surgery done on 09/02/14 at st. Lukes with Dr. Koshy. I also work in a different hospital and choose him. Know several people that had it done with him also. I highly recommend him. Since surgery lost 60 lbs.

I had the sleeve done in September 2014 with Dr. Koshy at St. Lukes hospital. He is awesome. Very caring and very involved. Takes time to answer all your questions. Several of my friends had the surgery done with him before I did. Btw I work at NYU hospital and decided on him.
