I will also be doing my surgery there in April. What was your experience, particularly with Dr Parikh and Bellevue. Any complications/complaints. I appreciate and await your response

I'm not actually NYC but I'm close!! I live in Harriman (up by West Point in the Hudson Valley)! The city is about an hour from me!! I had my surgery at West Point (since my DH is retired military!) We LOVE coming into the city though! Coming in on Wed. to go to the Radio City Christmas Spectacular!

Hi my name is Damaris and i do plan on getting the sleeve done. I dont have a date yet because i was originally going to go with the lapband and then i found some info about the sleeve..., so i started the process or the lap band and went to orientation, but now next week i have the orientation with the sleeve coordinator and the following week with the surgeon......which will be march 31, 2011..... im hoping that after gathering all test my insurance approves quick......does anyone know how healthfirst works or how long they take....im hoping i can get my surgery done in may 2011....

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
