Hi everyone! I am new to this group and the forums as well, this is such a great site and I'm so happy to have found a group of people from New Jersey! I am getting banded by Dr. Shakov and Dr. Strom's at Bayshore Community Hospital on Feb 15th. I noticed a few of you have been banded from that group and I would love to know how things are going! I met Dr. Reich at an information session and thought he was wonderful but he was going on vacation and I wanted to get an appointment as soon as I could because I heard it takes months to get everything done but boy does that group work fast! I had an appointment on Dec 19th and they scheduled me to get banded Feb 15th. Congrats to you all on your weight loss journey! I hope everyone had a great holiday!

Imattera,

Welcome to the group. It is a great group. So much information here from other's who have had the surgry.

I had Dr. Strom perform my surgery almost a year ago. I've seen Dr.s' Reich and Shakov for fills. They are very nice and professional as well as their office staff. I also go to the Bayshore office. I couldn't say enough about Bayshore Hospital and all their employees you come in contact with during this journey.

Wishing you the best, read and learn as much as you can on this wonderful website. Ask as many questions as you need to learn in order to go through this. It'll be 1 yr for me in 3 weeks and if I had to do it over again, I wouldn't think twice about it! As well as myself.

The best to you.

Hi Everyone - I am in central Jersey as well. My name is Danielle, I am going to be 28 and I have surgery next Friday. I currently live in North Brunswick and having surgery at the new Princeton Hospital (which is gorgeous by the way). I am very excited and I am hoping to make some new friends who are going through the same things. I don't have many people in my life who struggle with weight so while they are supportive and want me to be happy and healthy, they don't truly understand - that is where you guys come in!! :) I am starting this journey at 260 pounds (I am 5'6'') and would like to maintain weight at around 175. I know other people have desires to go much lower but I am naturally built wide and I don't see that being a possiblity for me. Plus, I like my curves! :)

If you guys are going to do a support group or even just a text/email group, please let me know. I would love to have check ins on what we ate, how much we exercised and hopefully we can motivate each other. I also love to cook so once I get through liquids and mushies, I am going to venture into healthy cooking and would love to swap recipes and such.

Danielle,

I also got banded at the new hospital in Princeton. The nurses and staff were great there. Who is your DR?

      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
