Any Jersey Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I had the Lapbadn done by Dr. Doug Ewing in Hackensack. After five years and only loosing 44lbs, the device leaked then cracked and I had it removed. Bc I was under the 35 BMI my insurance company denied my Sleeve request. My dr has put me on a weight loss plan. He's put me on Phentermine, and although legal and it doesn't make me jittery, I havent slept well since being on it. I don't like it bc I think its something that only lasts for a short time and when Im off it the weight will come back. I have another Dr. appt on the 19th and I've written down my concerns and how its made me feel.

I wanted to know if anyone else has gone this course, before surgery of course? And if so are my concerns founded or did it jump start your weight loss.

Hi Drea:

I had my surgery at Valley on 12/11. The staff was wonderful. Private rooms on the surgical floor, and the nurses are very in tune to our specific needs. Good luck!!

I also just heard that Sabina is no longer there. Don't know why, though. I am sure they will have to get another nutritionist, but hopefully quickly and it is kind of a bummer because it will be a new person to get to know. Sabina was so helpful and upbeat. Hope they can find someone just as good.

yes, I also heard from a sleeve friend who had Dr. Noyan, that Sabina has left. I was shocked because she didn't mention anything to me when I saw her less than a week ago!

I had my surgery on 12/26 at overlook hospital in Summit. Doing good so far except for the fact that I am very week. Hopefully my strength will come back soon.

How was your hospital stay? I am having surgery there on 1/9th? Who was your surgeon?

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
