<p>Hello All!</p> <p> </p> <p>I'm located in Central Jersey...getting sleeved on January 27th at St. Peter's Hospital (great facility!!!), by Dr. Anish Nihalani. Anyone else close by? </p>

Best of luck today! Let's us know how you made out!

Got sleeved!! Made out very well!!! Pain is not very bad so far, and things seemed to go very smoothly! It seems I passed the first leak test, and will have final tests later this morning, before they let me go home (if all goes well!). Now if only I could get some sleep!! My roommate seems to be in a great deal of pain! Please don't think I'm being insensitive, but it's gotten to the point where the staff is starting to ignore him (NOT a bariatric patient).

Congrats and best wishes!

I know exactly what you mean. My roommate had visitors and they talked all evening. The nurse found me with my pillow over my head. I was so tired but couldn't sleep because of the noise. During the night she was on that damn call bell every hour! Finally when I was able to go home the next day I was able to get some sleep!

That is the one thing I prayed for not to have a noisy roommate. ..thank goodness my prayers were really answered and I had a private room. ..but congrats brybro .

I will be 6 wks out on Friday. .and all I can say is that the noisy roommate good or bad is worth it ..I am down 49 lbs;

9 lbs pre op .40 post.

Not doing anything special just following Dr's orders. .

Congrats to you mrsrny3!!! Great job so far...keep up the great work!!!

I live in northern NJ. Was sleeves yesterday. I love my surgeon!!! I am a nurse so I was very picky with what I wanted and how my procedure would go. I am extremely pleased with his care. I am some pain today. The gas pains are the worst. Must WALK after your surgery. It will be the best thing. Good luck!!!!
