Yes, it is! I'm not nervous yet! Just taking my 2-week pre-op diet day by day. You'll be fine! Just RESEARCH until you know as much as possible.

I went to school at Kean University, so I'm very familiar with Northern Jersey.

Another Jersey girl here! I'm in Monmouth County and will be having surgery in November. My surgeon will be Dr. Binenbaum. I heard he's excellent. I'm getting preop stuff done. My endoscopy is Tuesday and cardiologist the week after. I'm getting excited!

I'm having my surgery at Hackensack Hospital with Dr. Trevedi... He was recommended to me by my friend who had it done a year ago.

Also from North Jersey. I was sleeved on December 12, 2012. Everything going really well. Very happy with my decision. Super smooth recovery and, though I wish I was losing faster, I am very satisfied.

Good luck!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
