Hey everyone

New to the site and just wondering if they're are any sleevers from NJ like myself. Looking for some support and someone who understands what I'll be going through. My surgery is scheduled for October 21 (yay). My friends are supporting me through this but my family does not know yet. They can be extremely judgmental at times and not sure how to tell them yet. Thanks in advance!

Me & my husband are both getting sleeved soon. We are having surgery in Holmdel with Dr. Karl Strom. #awesome

All the best of luck!!! You will both be happy you did. The fact your doing it together is also going to motivate the both of you!

congrats everyone! A little over one month post opt and I do not regret anything!!!! feeling great, back at the gym and down 30lbs!! feel free to message for anything at all, and goodluck with your new life <3

Hey all! Thought I'd resurrect this thread I'm 20 and just starting the process, but I've already been approved by insurance so I'm just plowing through now! I'm from Middlesex County. Meeting with Dr. Sadek in Somerset next week. Surgery will be at RWJ in New Brunswick.

Nice to meet you guys

I had my surgery by Dr Sadek on 4/12/13...he is a great surgeon! I had mine at Centrastate only because that was more convenient for me. You won't be sorry! Where in NJ are you? I'm in the Sayreville area

Hello! I'm from South Jersey and I'm 4 weeks post-op. I would love to chat with someone who understands and can exchange experiences. I have ton of support too but know one who can relate. All the best on your upcoming surgery!

Thanks! The first 2 weeks was the hardest. But since I've been cleared for regular food last week I've felt so much better! Nothing seems to up set my stomach I eat well however the fluids are the hardest to get in struggling with that. 30 pounds so far but the scale has been stuck for 5 long days!! Anyway, How are you? Are you post-op, if so how long?
