Hey everyone, just look for some people to go through this journey with me!! Not many people in my life know, so it would be nice to have some support around me.

Horrible... not as I wanted. In the begining it was perfect.. setting my date and my preop class for next week... THEN boom oh well we need you to do one more test' date=' THEN the nurse was like well now she has to wait until next month for the Preop class. Now I won't be sleeved till the end of July. Hope your appointment was better?[/quote']

Well I had to go see my pulmonary dr b4 dr Nihalani & he told me I have sleep apnea so now I have to get measured & they have hook me up on a machine to sleep with but I have to set it up ASAP before surgery ... So I'm in the June 14th class and pending date of surgery either the 11th or the 18th !! I won't know until Monday !! So more waiting ... I found out He only does surgery every Thursday & every other Friday ... & it's only like 1 or 2 patients in 1 day

What test do you have to get done ??

They want me to get a sleep study done now, which I didn't need before.. and I am losing weight on my own so not 100% sure. The dr they suggested wanted me to wait 2 months for an appointment, I said no thanks and called a different dr. I have to get one more test done for my PCOS. July 3rd I go back to Dr. N's office. July 12th is my Preop class and he said 2 weeks from then will be my date. I have been seeing Dr. N since last August.. just feels like surgery is never happening. UHHHHH

Hi all. I live in central NJ also but went to Dr. Mehta. I was just sleeved on Monday! Good luck to all!

How u feeling

Today I am not feeling happy. Back pain is terrible. I have been trying to walk in the house but it is pouring outside. I know it will get better. Just got to get over this beginning!

I hope you feel better! Everyone says as the days go by it will get better. Keep us posted on your recovery

Had surgery Tuesday and this is my first day home. All in all feeling AOK. Will keep fingers crossed.

Wow! 3 nights in the hospital? My dr asked if I wanted another night but wanted to be home. Not like they were doing anything else besides bothering me so often.

Just feeling a bit defeated today. I felt the same yesterday so assumed today would be a little better.

I think I need to read some happy posts! I am usually good at tolerating pain. It was better to be sleeping the first few days!!

Glad you are doing well!! My dr said I'll be in the hospital for one night only.

Hi, I live in camden county nj and was sleeved last august. This was the best decision I've ever mad for my health.
