Any Jersey Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

No surgery date yet...I was hoping to get all my pre op testing done now to get my surgery in Nov of this year? Is that possible?

Bloodwork usually needs to be less than 30 days old and most consults need to be no more than 3-6 months old, depending on the hospital. Your insurance company might require 6 months of pre op nutrition classes.

I went through APG bariatrics in Egg Harbor Township. My Consultation was July 18, 2012, my surgery date was September 13, 2012. I did ally pre-op testing and got approved quickly

I am going for my pulmonary visit tomorrow. I have done my blood work, upper GI, chest X-ray, ultrasound, and EKG. Going to meet my new dr. On Wednesday (insurance issue) and am having my echo on Thursday. Hopefully I'm still on track from a spring break surgery. I am from Medford.

Okay pulmonary function test done. What a PITA. Everything went great with the exception of the question if I snore...going for a sleep study to determine if I have sleep apnea. Then I have to do one w the cpap machine. All scheduled first week of march. Seeing my new dr. Wednesday. Hopefully still on track :)

I'm finding now that the gas pain is really coming from the amount of food in eating. I'm guessing that's a sign. I'm on stage 3 now, eating mushies... And even though I'm eating the recommended amount from the nutritionist, sometimes it's still too much. As soon as I feel a little gas, I stop eating... This seems to be helping! And as far as our proximity, we should all find out whet we live and hand out one day... We could all go out to dinner and order from the kids menu!!!

My surgeon gave me a prescription for 40mg of omeprazole a delayed release capsule, which helped with the gas bc I was depending on gas-x entirely too much! What a difference. I had my surgery on 12/17/13. SW 267 CW 226

Thanks very much for the info on this, Journey2BNThin...I think I'll ask about this. I've been doing the Gas-X thing just about every other day.

The Sleep Apnea test thing was pretty much standard for my surgeon...I tested positive for sleep apnea, did another sleep study with a cpap, and then got sleeved before I got fitted for a cpap machine...hoping I'll lose enough to not need it at all!

I'm so jealous that you're on stage 3!! I can't wait!!! We all definitely should!! That'd be hysterical!!

Believe it or not, the stages go by pretty quickly...stage 3 is kinda interesting, but just don't do like I did...since this is the closest you've been to 'real food' in a while, you may tend to want to eat faster, like in your pre-op days....please remember to take it slow, and listen to your body! For the first time, you're gonna know what 'full' feels like!

As for us all hanging out one day...that really would be cool!!! We really should do this!! Just no buffets!!

Yeah that's something I'm definitely gonna have to watch for. I used to tend to eat very fast so I'm gonna have to watch myself!

I'm definitely interested in all of us getting together!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
