Any sleevers in Northern NJ?

HELLO!!!

Is there anyone going for the sleeve or has gotten the sleeve up here in North NJ? I'm looking at January, and I started my journey about 4 weeks ago with Dr. Paragi.

Hey guys! My surgeon is Dr. Trivedi at Advance Laparoscopic Associates and my surgery is scheduled for the 19th of this month at Hackensack Hospital. I'm actually waiting to hear back from them in regards to any preop diet, I'm a little worried because I was not given any prior instructions on this. Anybody else familiar with this situation? ????

Dr. Trivedi did not have a pre-op diet for me. I had VSG 8/1/13. I'm down 83 pounds but still have about 100 to go. Take advantage of the first 6 months to a year loose as much as you can because the loss slows down. I am just getting back on track now.

Yeah, once I get throught this phase 1 and can start exercising safely, I'm going at it hard and accurately. I've heard that everyone hits a slump after about 6 months for a while.
