Hi, I'm Hank and I have my sleeve scheduled for 12-04-12 with Dr. Binenbaum from Monmouth Medical Center. I am excited to start this journey and am looking to hear from anyone who has been sleeved at Monmouth, waiting to be sleeved in the area, and how you have done. Good luck to all, and can't wait to hear from you.

I'm originally from Spring Lake, NJ and did some of my nursing school at Monmouth Medical Center. My surgeon also did his residency there. You're in good hands. Best of luck with your journey! :)

Hi Hank- I am also from Central Jersey (exit 74). I had my surgery last week at SOCH in Manahawkin. So although I did not go to Monmouth for mine, they do have a great repuation, so I know you're in great hands! Although the hospital matters, just make sure you have the trust in the surgeon - that's where it really counts!

It's nice to hear from others in the area - good luck!

Hi!

I'm in Central NJ too but I'm having my surgery on Nov 15th at Morristown Memorial by Dr. Nusbaum. Good luck! We can all support each other as we go through this journey so close together!

I am from Middletown NJ, but I am having my surgery further north with Dr Andrei at Morristown. I love Monmouth Med Center, but my PCP prefers Dr Andrei. Good luck!

I am using Binni (as the office calls him) at Monmouth as well. I am scheduled for 9/25/12 and just had my pre adm testing done this past Fri. Getting nervous and psyched at the same time. I wish you good luck. I am happy with him so far...I am an RN so I know my docs...and how to deal with them. Hear good things about him.

One question...why not until Dec?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
