Hi just curious if anyone has had Surgery in Orange County or Dutchess County NY?

my doctors also do one day if surgery is early in the morning.

ask your Surgeon or Bariatric Nurse to be safe ..... I would.

good luck and congrats

glad you went to see the Doctor

call your Surgeon ASAP

. My employer does not do ins Jan to Dec. mine is June to June which is great because my deductible runs the same way & works out good without having to bunch appointments up or get them in I should say by the end of the year (holiday time). I sure hope that whatever ins your employer chooses has the bariatric coverage so you won't have to spend your retirement money. Best of luck to you!!!

. We all live and learn. Don't beat yourself up about it. Just pick up on the positive side of things, back-that-thang up!!!!!!! And follow the orders you we're given by your Doctor or Nutritionist. You'll Do Great. Good Luck!!!!!!!

call your surgeons office & speak to the Nurse. Explain what's going on. Good luck.

How are you doing with your Sleeve??

go with your gut feeling & find another group. Some practices go out of whack because they are greedy & seeing too many patients. Also just think you will be dealing with the group pre-op, post-op & a life-time. Good luck with everything.

. Sending hugs & prayers to you!!! Congrats on your new road to a successful you.

I'm in the pre-op stage of being SLEEVED. I've been BANDED twice. First in 2010 then again in 2014. The first band slipped twice so I replaced it instead of being SLEEVED because #1 I was afraid of being SLEEVED (although it was suggested) #2 I lost 100 lbs with the BAND & thought why would I switch. Now after a year & few months I'm having issues with tightness & gerd. I keep going up & down with the fills which is not good. My BMI is under 30 but my Insurance will pay because I'm having same symptoms as first time plus more & I cannot tolerate fills. So all ins & my Doctor requires is an EGD (my last one was 2010) also Labwork & EKG. My EGD is on April 30th. I exercise & still eat small portions & protein shakes everyday. My PCP & Bariatric Surgeon calls me their star patient, because I'm not giving up or giving in to old bad eating habits. Sooooooooooo that's my story & I've done lots of research on the SLEEVE & I know this is for me. I've also been to two support groups which wasn't asked or required. I felt that "I" needed to do that for me.

. I'm a private person as well. I feel it's not anybody's business what I do to better my health and self. Especially Co-Workers, they just want to know your business so they can gossip about you.

SENDING PRAYERS AND WELL WISHES ON YOUR BIG DAY. MY EGD IS ON APRIL 30th. I TOO HAVE THE BAND. IN FACT I'VE HAD TWO BANDS. JUST NOT WORKING OUT FOR ME, BUT THANK GOD IM MAINTAINING MY WEIGHT. YOU WILL DO JUST FINE. LET ME KNOW HOW YOU MAKE OUT.

. That's right Middle fingers up to the haters!!! Do you!!!! People are haters & jealous. And it none of their damn business. They just pretend to be concerned so they can go talk about you behind your back........ You continue to strut your stuff.
