I'm hoping to be be sleeved soon the sooner the better but they have me chasing down medical records having more tests etc all I do it seems is go to dr appts and tests lol feels like it's taking forever and I was put on a strict diet too so this can't happen soon enough next week I have to do a sleep study kind of annoyed did one in 2012 was already diagnosed but couldn't tolerate Cpap at all tried for 5 months got even less sleep was a horrible experience they are forcing me to repeat they say if I dont do Cpap with proof of compliance no surgery so I'm dreading it I don't think I can possibly ever keep that thing on for a whole night let alone for two weeks so u already had your procedure?

I just figured out how to find posts I've written or replied to! I'm on an android, not my computer where everything is right there for you. So...I missed the replies here, sorry! I am using my band surgeon, Dr. Posner at Buffalo General. He's awesome, very very strict but awesome! The staff is cool too. The only bad thing is the parking. With the new "Medical Corridor", things are busy and tight. I can barely walk, so hubby drives me and we use valet parking, which takes forever and costs a lot.

But yes, I'm from Cheektowaga. Still going through pre-op testing

I always hear such nice things about him. Isn't there a father and son, or brother and brother thing going on there?

hey shelly, you're further ahead than me. I'm in my second week of the pre-op first phase South Beach diet. But Posner did my Lap band in '07. What a waste of time. I love Dr. Posner! How do you like Kim and Jeannie?

I'd be scared to, being as close to surgery as you. But do know you're in VERY good hands. Dr. Posner is the best. Is he doing the surgery? Specific date yet? Let me know when you get one. I'm so excited for you. ????

I had VSG on 12/18/2014 with Dr. Butsch, who shares a practice with Dr. Posner. I started in June with attending the seminar and after completing all the pre-op requirements, I met the surgeon on 11/11 and had surgery the following month. My surgery was at 10 am at Buffalo General and I stayed 2 days. The stay was, overall, very nice. Nurses were awesome and really listened to my needs.

Best of luck with everything!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
