Hi there! Happy New Years! I am scheduled for surgery on Jan 11th. I am 4 days into the pre-op diet. First few days were really hard - but it feels like it's getting easier!! Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with Dr. Bradley Schwack or the Langone Weight Center?

I've had all the other tests, but I still haven't had the psych exam - trying to get it scheduled! It would be a bummer if that held me up!

Would love to hear others experiences!

Thanks

Ann

My wife and I both used the center at NYU. We used Dr Fielding but I have also had occasion to meet with Dr Schwack and he seems like a great guy. In general we are both extremely happy with the NYU program.

Hi Ann,

I'm a patient of Dr. Schwack and was banded on 12/7/10. He is FANTASTIC. I really trust him and I really like him. He's very user friendly, accessible, and kind. His assistant, Leslie Betancourt, is a total dream. She answers e-mails fast and is very reachable. A great team. You couldn't have picked better. Ross

Thanks for the info! Glad to hear things went well for you!! Hope you are feeling great. I haven't received my surgery time - do you know if that happens the day before?

I knew I would be the 'first patient in', but the hospital called me at about 6:30 pm the night before with an exact time. Good luck!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
