Hi islanders. I am in Nassau but having surgery at cornell weill with Dr. Pomp. No pre diet needed just 2 days of liquids. getting more anxious as date approaches. Nov 7th if endo goes well nov 4..had some reflux isues. reading on the site the emotions and experiences are across the board. I hope I will have an easy surgery ( husband worried about complications and extra hospital time at a very high price as I am a self pay). also hoping I will be able to get those shakes down and also to still be able to eat eggs. Using unjury vanilla which now tastes pretty good but I am hearing that a lot of things change . Staying positive and hope to hear about everyones success...this is really a life changing experience .

Doing well! No problems..can eat anything..down 55lbs since preop started on july 25th...It is better I hear to lose slower so that your skin has a chance to catch up..it took me a year to lose 10 stinkin pounds before surgery...ugh..so now I'm losing a pound or 2 a week and thrilled that scales going in the right direction for once!

Tricia, I am meeting with Dr. Barkan next week and I also have United Healthcare Oxford insurance. I am going to speak with him about the sleeve gastrectomy. Was it difficult to get through the insurance process for you?

Wow, that is great! My insurance requires a six month wait period and two co-morbidities. I'm not sure that I will qualify, but keeping my fingers crossed. Congratulations to you. Keep up the great work!
