Im planning to have my sleeve done by Dr. Peter Kwon at Tristate Bariatrics. Has anyone else here had him as a surgeon?

I have had Dr. Kwon place my lapband and I am currently working with him again to do revision to sleeve. He is great but strict. Do you have a surgery date yet?

I was sleeved by Dr Kwon on December 30. He is great.

I was also sleeved by Dr Kwon on the 30th. How are you feeling?

I am doing ok. I am feeling good.I can't wait to have some sort of food substance. The staples are getting a little painful ready to come out. How are you feeling?

Ugh I feel weak & ready to drop. I've been dreaming about food & the Food Network has become my life. No pain though, which is good. Just ready to have more variety

I'm down 8lbs which is the only thing making me feel better

That is great. I don't have any pain either just from the staples now. I have yet to weigh myself yet. I am ready for food I want cheese. Lol.

OMG I've been craving cheese also. I have some in the house & even joked that I was gonna lick it all so no one can have none. Why should I suffer alone!! LOL

Lol that's funny today when I was grocery shopping I bought a whole bunch of cheese and Joe thought I was crazy he kept telling me Bec you have 2 weeks yet.

2 weeks!! Wow. Do you know the stages @ when we can advance?

I know I have to drink shakes for 2 weeks then I can do semi soft, are they different?

I can't remember what the nurse in the office told me about how long each stage was. I'm going in on Monday for my post-op appointment & I have a lot of questions

I go Monday too. I just remember going thru it with Joe it was almost two weeks, he did start have a few things during the second week. I know I tried a little chicken broth.

I tried some broth too. I'm a nurse & because I felt so weak & thought I would pass out any minute I decided I needed more than just tea & crystal light. Did a few small sips & felt better. Now that I can have shakes I feel a little better

How are you doing?
