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!

@@sportygurl107 I'm actually going to st barnabas for mine on Dec 11th... insurance didn't cover any of the ones by us :-

im from NJ too! im still looking for hospitals and stuff

@@Shell88 got it, insurance can be a pain but this surgery is well worth it. Good luck on the 11the, you got a countdown going?

Hey @ courtneyxo17 I went to Dr. Rob Barbalinardo up at Moutainside Hospital near Verona, he was great! Had it done 6/24/13 and down 145 so far only 45 to go. Had two wrist surgeries or I'd be at my goal already.

I'm at 27 days and counting @@sportygurl107 lol

I just had my surgery on Monday, November 10th in Hackensack with Dr. Trivedi.

I had a VSG on 8/1/13 with Dr. Trivedi. Was wondering how you are doing since our surgery dates were close. My weight loss has slowed down a lot but it's mostly because I haven't been careful about snacking. Also I haven't been exercising enough. Do you attend the support group?
