Any Jersey Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

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.

Can u message me....

I was also sleeved by Patel in sept 2012. Office staff is amazing. I had my gall bladder out aprox 2 year before sleeve. Good luck!

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!

Hi what hospital and doc did you use?

Hi all! I'm from bergen county area. I was sleeved Feb 3rd. No issues so far. I've lost 30 pounds. Now I'd they could give me a labotomy to get through the mental part of wanting food that would be golden!

I was sleeve in Feb by dr. Bagloo at Columbia because my insurance wouldn't cover the surgery in Valley. Dr. Bagloo is his associate. I had a great experience at Columbia.

Dr Nusbaum in livingston/Morristown is a very insensitive, nasty and mean -spirited surgeon -- I'm continuing my post op care with dr abkin in florham park

Wow I had the opposite experience. Abkin n his staff were very cold and messed up with my insurance 3 different times and kept rescheduling my surgery! Any way whom ever you choose good luck to both of you!

      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! 😞
