Hello all well this is me starting over was set to have sugary in july but a job I had been trying for came up. So guess what insurance changed was Atena now Cigna. Atena only has a 3 month wait Cigna 6. Well I am from Union County and was wandering if any of you used Dr. Goyal in Union? Well I will keep you all posted.

Oh this is such a side bar how do I make a Ticker. LoL

Hello all, My surgery date is March 1 and I have so many feelings about this! excitement, fear, sadness I did not do it without surgery and most of all hope! Hope all you Jersey girls and guys are well!

Hope all is well mambomama!!! I can't wait to get my sleeve sometime soon as well!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Hello and thanks for the note! I hope you are well. I have done well post-op. Today is 2 weeks and although I have only lost 10 pounds (which is little compared to the average I am told), I am happy. I feel great, with little pain. I have one complication with a hematoma (old blood pooling) under my incision. I go to the surgeon tomorrow to hopefully get it fixed. It has been draining since Sunday which means antibiotics and dressings etc. I am on a pureed diet and tolerating it well but find it a challenge to get all my protein. So far I have managed the 60 grams just barely almost every day. The fluid for me is easier because I sip all day. Let me know how you are doing! I will be praying for a great experience and quick recovery!

Sincerely,

Nancy (mambomama)
