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

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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
