Going to Dr Strom also. Surgery scheduled May 15th. Still need GI clearance and Pulmonary. Since I have had a UPP and still had sleep apnea, I already use CPAP.

I'm in South Jersey was sleeved 05/06/2013 in Atlantic city by Dr. Patel. He and his staff made me comfortable through the whole process. Down 80lbs , 10 more to go. Only negative to the surgery was I had to have my gull bladder removed 8 months post op. No biggie though.

Im in south jersey, Pemberton, but was sleeved in Old Bridge by Dr. Mehta on 9/17/13. Down 74lbs so far. Would love to hear some experiences of others. I've been on the site for awhile, mostly just reading up on others experiences, haven't posted much. Figured i would try to participate more might learn a little. :-)

Hi all! I'm 4 weeks post op and 31 pounds down. I'm from the Bergen Co area. Good luck to all about to begin their journey. When you look back at the recovery you'll be able to say it was a piece of cake and we'll worth it!

I had the VSG in July and I have already lost 124 pounds.....all went so well....until, I felt a parathesia in October--went to ER in NYC....still have no feeling in my abdomen and inner portion of my thighs and legs....the worst part is now I have SEVERE and Intractable PAIN in my feet.....the neurologist did an EMG and a biopsy...all returned normal......the Vitamin level blookwork is also normal....no one know why this has happened....? In ready the mayo CLINIC and NIH website and journals......it seems that there are a small amount of people who have this issue...it might be related to a mal absorbtion issue......?The neurologist gave me neurontin...does not help.......anyoe else have these issues....?

      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! 😞
