Hey bronx new yorkers I have joined the sleeved club. I was sleeved on 4/11/12 and everything went great according to doctors. I wanted to get out the bed about 3pm and want to drink water but had to wait that was Thursday in the am. Now Thursday afternoon I made a bad turn and felted really sick and could not drink anything I could not even lay down. So I got worried and the doctors did too. I was kept longer and sent for a CT and 2 nebs. I was off the pain killer early because I was so ichy. Turns out that I had a running nose and as it feel to the back of my throat it may it hard for me to cough and it also caused a painful coughing attack. I was just taking tylenol the first night and had a hard time.

As for today I am drinking 4 - 6 oz of clear and i crushed the vicodin because of the painful coughing. My husband brought me some sugar free cough drops that is also helpful for the cough. Finally I don't regret it I am doing good. TMI sorry I past gas like crazy and finally went poop. lol calling doctor's office for my after surgery appts.

Hey I'm having surgery at Jacobi also! Haven't found too many of us on here lol. I have a date for November 14th- tentative pending on insurance. I have HealthFirst/Medicaid so we have a few things in common! I just talked with them last week and she scared me because she was telling me how Health First is difficult to approve surgery so now I'm terrified blehh. I wish they would have told me this in the beginning- we're suppose to hopedfully submit to insurance this week- I go back Thursday so fingers crossed BIG TIME lol. The psych eval is a breeze so don't even worry about that- I was a little bit but it went great. PM me if you have any questions or just want to talk

Wow its so great to find someone on here from jacobi. I will be PM you. I have tons of questions. Ttys.

Congrats on the feat, and yes I would!

Hello to all, fellow bronxite here.... had surgery done at columbia presbyterian, im 16 months out and almost 270 lbs down.... Journey has been tough but great at the same time. Anyone wanna make friends or a chat buddy, dont be afraid to hesitate!

Hello everyone I'm from the Bronx as well and is in my pre testing stages at montefiore..just wanted to know if anyone is or has gotten their surgery with Dr. Vemulapalliat montefiore? Would appreciate any feedback if any.

I think I posted before. But I am 2 years post op. Recently gained 16 lbs back from the 130 I had lost. Trying to get reconnected with my healthy habits and self. 2012 was a really emotionally tough year and towards the end of the year I started back into old habits of emotional eating and now I have to reset my body as I constantly feel hungry and I am sure I stretched my pouch. Anyone want to link up I'd love that. could use the support and would love to help out anyway I can as well.
