healthfirst. what was your experience ?



Recommended Posts

I have been changing insurance (mainly to avoid the 6 month diet, just being honest) had HIP then my surgeon suggested I switch to healthplus. I changed surgeons because that guy was a prick. I went a Sleeve info session at Maimonides hospital in Brooklyn, Ny. During the session we were told if we have healthfirst we wouldn't have to do the diet..so being the impatient guy I am, I switched over to healthfirst. Now I'm being told I might have to do the diet. I really want to get this done before I start my next semester of college. Grrr XD

I switch to Health First for the same reason too.... My surgeon told me the same thing... You should check him ... Dr Stephen Carryl in Brooklyn ... One Hansen place... My mom used him and she also referred five other ppl...

Sounds like a plan! Thank you so much. Did you or your mom have to do the 6 month diet?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
