oh thats good to hear. I'm meeting with him monday but I'm not sure he will take me because I'm a revision and I'm not sure if he does those. the office said he does but who knows? I'm not sure how much experience he has with them or with the sleeve for that matter. i will see him in Pt Jeff.

Hello Heidi,

Do you mind if I ask what time is your surgery? I have an appointment with him on Tuesday Morning? Do you like the office staff, have they been helpful and friendly. I would be interested to know how your post-op goes.

thanks,

lee

I went to another dr in Brooklyn (Sherwinter) I didnt like the Hospital or staff and when I researched Dr. Angstatd and the group I got real good info. I like the single incision method!!

Hello Heidi,

Do you like the office staff, have they been helpful and friendly. I would be interested to know how your post-op goes.

The office staff is real nice, I was very impressed with the hospital...The only issue I had was that the office didnt let me know that my insurance approved the surgery I had to keep calling and be on top of that...

I will let you know how it went post op looking forward! :rolleyes:

I am not familiar with Long Island I live in Jersey City.....my doctor is actually in Paramus but I am not sure about him anymore; I can not find anyone who has used him as a surgeon and that has me worried. So, I did some more research and found Dr. Garber but he is not covered under my plan but his partner Dr. Angstatd is and he had good reviews so I schedule an appt to meet with him to discuss my surgery. My surgery is actually schedule for 6/20 with the dr. in Paramus.....right now I do not know what I am going to do?

I had the same issue with Garber. I was scheduled to meet him today but a few days ago they called and told me her doesn't take my ins and they asked me if i would see Angstadt. i was like, who is he? i never heard of him? how old is he? how many has he done, etc etc. my case is a little risky because I'm an ex banister so i want someone with a lot of experience. I'm meeting him monday.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
