I had my band removed last April due to a slip and I'm researching the sleeve now. Can someone recommend a doctor in the NJ/PA area??

Thanks,

Michelle

Hi Michelle,

I am using Dr. Bertha from Advance Laparoscopic Surgeons in Florham Park, NJ. He came very highly recommended. Unfortunately he hasnt done a whole lot of Sleeves but he is one of the top rated weight loss surgeons in North Jersey. Good luck!

Hershey Medical does the sleeve. There are 3 doctors that perform their surgeries.

I just had mine done at Hershey Medical by Dr. Ann Rogers. I am only 3 days out, but so far, so good. I actually had a very nice stay at the hospital, well as nice as a stay can be after surgery, it was much nicer than my local hospital.

I have been researching The Valley Hospital's Center for Metabolic and Weight Loss Surgery in Bergen county NJ.. it may be a little far from PA ... the Doctors associated with NY Presbyterian Hospital.. The docs names are...Melissa Bagloo, M.D.; Miguel Silva, M.D.; Beth Schrope, M.D., Ph.D.; and Marc Bessler, M.D. .. I have visited with Melissa Bagloo, M.D. iat the NJ office and found her to be pleasant to talk to and very informative .., she didnt rush me out of her office and was a true pleasure.. So far im sticking with her ./ she also part of my *** aetna plan.. hope this helps .. MT

Dr. Ed Yatco at Manhattan Minimally Invasive Barriatric Surgery was great and does lots of sleeves, I had my surgery at Lennox Hill in Manhattan and have no complaints.

I have a large piece of mesh in my upper abdomen from a prior surgery and he had to work around this and could not insert the instruments where he normall would. Also, he had to cut through lots of adhesions from the prior surgery.

No complications, back at work in 3 weeks, slow steady weight loss and I am off all meds for diabetes, blood pressure and arthritis. I could not have asked for better care or a better result.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
