Hi! I am scheduled for my VSG with Dr. Vadim Gritsus at Valley Hospital on 8/3. He and his office staff have been just fantastic!! I saw him last year too but I wasn't ready.

Two years ago I saw a Dr. B. at Hackensack and I was NOT impressed. Experienced but horrible attitude - "Don't come back until you know which surgery you want to have"! I was like, no, I'm just not coming back... VSG wasn't an option with him so I'm glad I waited!!

Dr. Gritsus has answered every single question of mine with patience and respect. His staff is polite and their goal is to make the process as smooth as possible. They will refer you to a psych and nutritionist if you don't have your own, and they are on the ball as far as working with insurance to get preapproval.

I just joined so I don't know if you've posted since this - where are you at in the process now?

Good luck!

I was born in Hackensack and live in California now. I am contemplating the VSG. I would like to be your friend and kepp in touch.

I am in NJ and I just had my sleeve done on 8/6/12 with Dr. Trivedi at Hackensack Hospital. Feel free to ask me/inbox me any questions. I am VERY happy with my decision.

When are you getting your sleeve? I'm scheduled Aug 28

I'm getting sleeved this Tuesday the 21st :)

I was sleeved 9/13/12, at Atlantic City Medical Center, Dr. Patel. Went for first post op today and I'm down 16lbs since 8/22/12!
