Emmmie - Sleeved Aug 15th 2012

I've heard mixed reviews about him. I heard his radio commercial the other day. I am from long island and I highly recommend Dr. David Buchin in Huntington NY. He just did my revision from Lap band (done by diff doctor in Aug of 2010) to Sleeve on Aug 15th. Where in NY or LI are you from?

There might be several Dr. Garber - are you referring to the one in NY?

Never got your number in a PM...

Laser hair removal on my face is by far the best thing I ever invested in! It is so much more affordable now a day. I highly reccomend it!

Hi All, I had a revision from Lapband to VSG on Aug 15th. I used to take Loestein 24FE before my revision surgery. My surgeon told me due to absorption issues that 'could' happen I should look into another form of birth control. I went to my OB- GYN and she suggested the Nuvaring because I have PCOS and still need hormones in my birth control. So, my question is: All post-op's, what kind of Birth Control do you use? Does anyone use the Nuvaring & what do you think of it? Thanks!!

I wish you all the best!

Sure!!

I have United Health Care Choice Plus- for my Lapband surgery that I had in August of 2010 I was approved 1st try. Where as, I just had a revision to the VSG on Aug 15th- and because it was a revision it was hell. Several appeals to denials. But if this you first surgery it should go pretty smoothly as long as they identify comorbidities. Hope that helps. I wish you luck in the future.

I didn't know which flavors to try but then I found a Sample pack here: http://www.mybariatricpantry.com/SYNTRAX_NECTAR_PROTEIN_POWDER_SAMPLES_p/nectar-sample.htm I've only tried the Caribbean Cooler its pretty good.

Anyone from Long Island? I'm looking for VSG friends. I had my revision from Lapband to Sleeve Aug 15th. -Emily

I am from Long Island NY... When were you sleeved? I was revised from Lapband to Sleeve on Aug 15.

I know personally Sorbital does a number on my stomach!! It's horrible... Can you tolerate sugar? So I've been told sleevers don't usually dump... I know I have a problem with some no sugar added foods.

I had my revision from Lapband to Sleeve on Aug 15th, 2012... I am still on disability now- I return to work on Sept 17th. I took a little extra time to get used to the new lifestyle.

I had surgery on Aug 15th- So I am about 3 weeks out. Sounds about where I am...

Hi All August Sleevers- I received my revision from Lap-Band (Aug 2010) to Sleeve on Aug 15th (a little late on the posting) at that time they also removed my gallbladder and repaired my hiatal hernia. Anyone who had surgery around then- how are you doing so far? I've actually had a good run so far and I am feeling great. -Emily

Yes I am currently on soft foods- no problems at all actually. How about you? What are somethings you are eating?

I guess I wouldn't.... I don't think I did... I think I'm just getting used to the sleeve.

P.S. Someone in my support group said I could just be thirsty. Its very hard at this point decifer what my Sleeve is telling me.
