I'm pre surgery too.... I am very anxious about all of this too. I am sure it is normal. I wish you the best of luck. Where are you having it done?

Hi I'm having mines done at North Shore Community Hospital Dr Gellman in Long Island. What about you?

I see in one of your old posts you are seeing Dr. Gadaletta at North Shore also cool we should chat.

Yes. I'm finishing up pre-op tests. I've been told by many people that Gadaleta is one of the best. Is Gellman the other doc in the practice? The name is familiar.

Yes he is. He is great as well.

Preoop jitters are normal. I almost backed out the day of the surgery. And I have had some ups and downs afterwords as well, but for the most part this has been great and is definitely working!! I was sleeved on 1/28 my weight was 450lbs and I just went for my first postop visit on 2/8 and I was down to 421lbs. My goal weight it 200lbs so I have awhile to go. I think the worst part for me was my mental hunger. I am finally getting over that, it only took a few weeks...... Lol. I am sure you will do fine, good luck!! :-)

Yes he is. He is great as well.

Do you still go to the support groups? I'm due to go this month.

Thank you I am totally freaking out how did you get past the jitters

Where's the support forum?
