Has anyone had a VSG with Dr. Roslin in the last few months? Can you tell me what to expect? Pre op exams? How many office visits? Experience at Lenox Hill? Around how much the total cost would be for self pay?

i can't tell yo anything about cost but I can tell you that you selected the best as far as surgeons go. I Had my surgery on October 4th and was walking 5 hours later and have been feeling really good.

I'm having my vsg October 21st I search him before going to a seminar in May 22 I heard you won't get a heart felt beside manner from him so I looked more to (Dr yakto) I hope I spelt that right because I heard his beside manners are better but when I discussed it with my lapband doctor he told me he recommended Dr Roslin to me because he better fitted for my lapband revision to vsg & I spoke to a couple post op vsg & ds patients that told me Dr Roslin the best which I saw online also just don't look for a best friend lol I only had two office visit with him which was my consultation & this Wednesday coming my final pre op visit testing I did was bloodwork, urinalysis & ugi disk & written report get a pcp letter from my primary doc & a six month weight history which was provided from my lapband surgeon being that he was monitoring my weight no my primary all this was needed because I was trying to get my insurance to approve so being that your self pay idk if your gonna need all the documents I needed this past Friday I did my pre op for my surgery bloodwork again because the last testing was more than 30 days ago chest x rays & ekg all three were done in about 2hrs but 30mins went to me registering being that it was my 1st time at the hospital we did my pre ops at lenox hill hospital rather then my state of nj because we wanted everything fast as possible being that my surgery was scheduled on the 21st this Tuesday I see my primary doctor so that I can get my physical & history forms filled out I know visits after surgery are necessary to check up on healing process/weight loss & after 6mths visits are to check on weight loss for my pre op everybody was friendly I got lost & two ppl offered to help me find my way to radiology & the woman to help wit my registration was the best I laughed wit her she was professional but I let her know she could do my registration & enjoy work she kept being quiet when her co worker was taking to her because I was present but I let her know I like to have fun at work so she should too & I wouldn't stop her that I'm not a uptight patient but as for self pay Idk how I helped in the best way

I'm working with Dr. Yatco. It just so happened that I could not meet with Dr. Roslin on the day he was available so I saw Yatco. I liked his manner and thought he was very patient and thorough with the info given. I am still in the process of getting my medical stuff together. I did the nutrition class and one on one with Sharon, did the psych eval, I got the support letter from pcp, and I'm working with my pcp to do the six month weight history. Throughout this, I've found a lot of the staff at Lenox to be informative enough but not very warm. I have decided that I don't need warm. I need efficient and that they seem to be.

I'd love to follow along with you on your journey as well since we're going to be doing it at the same hospital. I'm hoping I'm close to submitting everything and would sooo love to get the surgery before the year ends. We'll see how it all goes.

:)

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
