Dr. Kini Didn’t do my Surgery, he had to go away for personal reasons / vacation so he referred me to his Colleague at mount sinai who did my surgery last month - Dr Eugenius John Harvey

Hi everyone,
I submitted all the documents 2 weeks ago to my Surgeon’s Office. I’m awaiting:
1. 2 more appointments with my Surgeon Signing the consent form, picking a Surgery date and taking a quiz while at the 2nd appointment
3. Approval letter from the insurance company
The Holiday season is up on, it’s obvious that my Surgery won’t be next month like I wanted . It will be in January
Can we make a Facebook group so we can chat daily and cheer each other along?

Eat less( eat 5 times a day not 12 times a day but make sure you get your macros in).........eat in a certain window for example between 7am and 7pm only. dont eat and drink at the same time. These are ways to make sure your pouch or stomach doesn't stretch too much from this point on. You got this!!!!!
You've done such a great job. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to get the TDS in a few months. I dont want a long cc just in case I would have a lower weight loss goal. I am going to talk to my surgeon tomorrow-video pre op appointment and I am going to confirm with him that I want a short cc-ideally 100cc. He measures the total bowel so he has to go in there to measure it then.... I could truly know what my cc is , you know?

Hi everyone, I am so excited and grateful that I am going to join the DS family soon. Dr. Kini is my Surgeon. He performs TDS as well as the modified version of the DS. The way my luck and body is set up, the traditional DS is the best tool for me. So far so good, Dr. Kini and his entire Staff have been Professional and helpful. I am loving the team.
I would love to speak to other people that had surgery with him or heard of him. Thank you in advance.

I was Drinking 6-8 Premier Protein shakes plus 1 solid meal for dinner
^^^ I did worse than you. I was Taking in too much Protein.
Now I’m doing Whole Foods for Breakfast, lunch and dinner. If I’m hungry aside from that, I drink only 1 premier Protein Shake during the day. I’ll have surgery in a few months. I wish I was losing a lot of weight but I’m not. Pcos and fibroids makes it extremely hard to lose more weight.
You are doing great!!! Just drink 1 shake a day or none at all. Save the shakes for the liquid pre op diet. You got this!!!🥰😍

Bxnaija: I messaged you. Go to your PCP AND set up consultations with surgeons ASAP
Update: I will no longer get the gastric bypass surgery. I am going to get the duodenal switch surgery. YouTube it if you haven’t heard of it. It’s a great tool to have especially someone with over 100lbs to lose like myself. 🥰😍

For people who needed to lose a minimum of 100lbs AND were on depo provera pre & post op……: : Were you able to reach your weightloss goal of losing 100lbs+?
( Some ppl gain weight from depo.)

Aside from your surgeon’s recommendation for you………….
Which procedure YOU felt was best for you & why?
I feel like since I am a foodie-I LOVE real food , I was an emotional eater , I have heart burn often, im over 100lbs overweight, I am over the age of 30( losing weight seems like an impossible task nowadays ), my metabolism is low, I plan on getting pregnant at least once in the future and Portion Control has been a major issue= Gastric bypass is best for me. -
Omg August is almost here, congratulations Ricksters!!!!
Teri: I’m hoping to get surgery the end of this year as well.
Hi neighbor, I’m in the Bronx as well. When is your meeting with your surgeon?^^check your message. I messaged you both.

BluPriscilla : I had the traditional duodenal switch surgery on Feb 1st 2022. I’m feeling alright to say the least . To say the most is to mention my 4 complications but I don’t feel like writing a novel about that right now . I wouldn’t trade the DS Surgery for nothing in the World. Go to your PCP to weigh you once a month , you need: EKG, endoscopy with H pylori bacteria test , blood work that mount sinai will order , psych evaluation, nutritionist appointment , letter of medical necessity from your PCP.
