I am wondering if anyone has used dr. Anoosh at Brookhaven bariatrics

We share a date good luck

Hi my name is dawn surgery scheduled 10-6 I am a nurse from Ny. I am 36 yrs old I work with geriatric population I see the effects of being overweight ong term everyday. It is partly why I am doing this. It is also scary being a nurse and being so aware of complications that can occur too. It is a constant battle with myself I just keep believing i am making the right choice and pray for a positive outcome. Nurses are a very special and strong kind of person

Planning surgery 10-6 in ny..,, I could have had it as early as July but think it will be better after my kids go back to school. I weigh 220 now

I don't really know he can be mean about it tells me I'm going to leave my kids an orphan. If something goes wrong. It's like he doesn't want me to better myself. My mom is the same way and I don't even talk to her about it anymore. My decision is made they don't walk in my shoes everyday or know how years of being overweight effects me emotionally and physically. I just keep going foward and try to get support and encouragement from those wh have been there before. My surgery is oct. 6 th. I hope you find the support you need. It is really a wonderful thin to have others believe in you so you do not have to go this journey alone

My husband is not supportive I believe he is afraid I have not had my surgery yet my date October 6. It is very difficult he will not listen to me after any of my checkup says he doesn't want to hear about it. It does hurt but this is for me. I am 36 with 5 kids I need to make a positive. Change in my life for me.

Following hope to have surgery in July I have a 2 year and 3 year old 8 and 10 year old

Thank you for your kind words

I am 5 3, 215 pounds when I started seeing the bariatric dr I was 225. Everyday is a struggle at this weight as a nurse in long term care I see what happens when you are obese. I have tried so many times on my own and I just can't get to a healthy weight. I want to do this for me and my family. I want my daughters to have amom they are proud of and can keep up with them. It's hard doing this alone I just would like some emotional support and for them to believe in me, it's hard second guessing myself and wondering if I'm making a mistake. My mom makes me feel guilty or like I'm just not trying hard enough. I'm 36, Just taking the step of talking to the doctor was a lot for me.

Hi new here in 36 mom if 5 kids 215 pounds a nurse and married. I have thought long and hard about this journey and know I am staying the course for me and my future health. How do I deal with my mom and husband saying this is selfish and i may die on the table leaving my kids motherless. This has been a very hard discussion for me but in my heart I feel it is for the best. I plan on having the sleeve in July
