Yesterday my husband and I took a day trip to LBI. We walked a mile on the beach. Walked around Bay village and fantasy island. Then we climbed the Barnegat light house. I did all of this with no back or joint pain. Awesome non scale victory for me. Especially since the scale has not moved all week.

I had surgery on Thursday. Discharged from the hospital on Saturday. Pain is tolerable. Trying to get all my fluids in. SF Popsicles have been my savior. Tolerated 2- 4oz of Protein Shake and 4 oz of Protein Jello made with unflavored Unjury. Only 16 oz of Water all day and lots of Popsicles.

Yayyy an NJ group! Ok I'm in North Jersey going through the pre dawn stages ( consultation, appointments, seminars). I'm going through NJ Bariatric center. My insurance is Amerihealth EPO. I'm 4'11 and 206 lbs. Thank you for creating this forum it will definitely bring more people from NJ together to share their experience. Good luck to us all.

I didn't have a PCP either so my gyn wrote my letter of necessity. I'm sure your OB can. But you should also find a PCP to see regularly after the surgery, just a thought. Not sleeved yet; waiting for 6/24!

. As it turned out, I didn't need a letter from my primary.. I agree with the others, go to the seminar and 1st appt. they will send you to the next step..
