    I’ve started having problems with the skin on my stomach as well. I got prescribed an anti-fungal powder and they documented it for insurance purposes for when I do try to go for skin removal surgery. My surgeon won’t have us consult with a plastic surgeon until a year out. The Hair loss is horrible!!! Im taking Biotin and using nioxin to try to get plenty of regrowth as quickly as possible. I’ve lost a total of 81 pounds, 17 of which were pre-op.

    I have been a patient of NYBG for about 6 years and that office has been nothing less then fantastic, I can't say enough good things. Of course, I don't really see the doctors unless its surgery or an endoscopy but the staff is great. I really just see the PA, Nicole. I also saw Sharon for the nutrition consult and for my first follow up. I email a lot and my questions are always answered pretty quickly. As for soft foods, I didn't have any problems and stayed on all Protein soft for the month and just started solid Protein,

    Good to know. I will start sending emails if I’m unsure about anything!

    @Staceyb2121 &[mention=323004]Missrut718[/mention] - what has been your overall experience with NYBG? Dr Holliver seems great but I’m not a fan of the nutritionalist. Also, how did you feel going directly to purée after surgery? It was a bit much for me and I stuck with shakes and yogurt. Adding Soup and eggs this week.




    Which nutritionist did you meet with? I met with Shara Lazar. I thought my initial consult was quit rushed and the packet that they gave us was not super informative. I bought that package though so we’ll see how she is when I make my appointments through that. I had no problems going right to purees, thankfully. I have been sticking more to the yogurts and ricotta type stuff though. I did make turkey chili but I puréed it to a thin consistency.

    I am feeling good, back to normal besides the fact that some days I am absolutely exhausted but it’s getting better. Wednesday is my one month visit. Our stats are around the same. Hw286 sw272 cw253. I am a revision patient though. I had the lapband for 5 Years and revised to the sleeve.



    Sounds like we were all supposed to be there on Wednesday!!

    @missrut718 Ha! We must have crossed paths lapping in the hall with our IVs in tow [emoji23] I’m headed in Wed for my follow up. Feeling great. How about you?




    I’m also supposed to go Wednesday for my follow-up but I think I’m going to call tomorrow to try to reschedule since I’m going there from Staten Island and we’re supposed to get this storm now. I’m doing great! I’m managing to get all of my Water and Protein in each day, thankfully!

    I was sleeved on march 12th. Having an impossible time meeting my Protein requirements. Anyone else??




    I was also sleeved on the 12th. The only way I was able to meet both my protein and Water goals today was by drinking a bottle of protein water. Two birds, one stone. But it’s a huge feat to even do that at this point
