Thank you for sharing your experience with Dr. Neff. I can't believe I'm getting sleeved in 2 days.

I didn't see your stats. Do you remember how long you stayed in the hospital? What were your stats and how long did it take you to reach your goal? Thanks

How did your surgery go?

I am post op now. I am starting to feel better

We are really close

Hi - I'm in north Jersey and had my sleeve done on July 30th with Dr.A. Trivedi at Hackensack hospital... good luck everyone!

Just getting started here and am excited about all the positive comments. I have a tentative date for 11-27. Starting to work on eating changes now and more exercise to get some off pre-op. Was wondering if anyone had their surgery done at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch? Thanks. Hank

I had my sleeve done June 12 with Dr hans schmidt

Hi.. I was sleeved march 19th at overlook with dr. Goyal too!! Love him! I have had no issues at all! He's amazing..

Unfortunately my paperwork was sent out 3 months early (needed to complete 6 months of NUT visits not 3) and i was denied.

New surgery date is Nov 5. Hopefully this time around i wont have any problems.

Brady38 - in answer to your question, I've just reached the 100 pound mark, but I have a ways to go get to goal. I lost 31 pre-op and 69 since (I was sleeved on Jan. 31). I stayed only one overnight in the hospital (Kennedy Stradford).

Congrats! I'm officially 3 days post op. ready to feel better:)

Union Beach gal here.....

Finishing my pre-op screenings, one last visit with nutritionist, sleep apnea test & stomach scope in two weeks, final visit with doc on 23rd. Hoping for an early October surgery date, Hopefully Aetna will move their asses......I'm heading to Jamaica 1st week of December and would really like to buy a new bathing suit and fit into the 5000 pairs of shorts I have outgrown!!!! Dr. Nihilani in Edison will be doing my surgery at JFK.

Has anyone done research into the "dark" side of sleeve surgery? Other than the posted side effects we all know about (general surgery complications, dumping, acid reflux), has anyone experienced any really bad issues from their surgery? My husband is very skeptical about this being he keeps hearing only "good" things about the surgery and hardly any "bad".
