So this Monday I will be beginning my 2 week liquid diet and I'm starting to get really nervous. I don't know how I'm gonna handle not eating that long. Also I am an x-Ray tech and only have a week off from it. How did everyone feel 1 week post-op? I could also really use a buddy to talk about the journey with who actually understands what it's like!

I was sleeved on July 29th. I feel great. I'm so ready to go back to work. However I work in customer care so I sit a lot. 1 week might not be enough for a person that move around a lot because you still have achy moments! Good luck with your surgery I'm in NJ by the way.

I'm still pre-op. Going in on Monday 8/10 for surgery. I'm just curious where on Long Island and what surgeon. I'm in Patchogue and I'm with Dr Arif Ahmad in Port Jefferson.

I'm in wantagh and its dr. Holover doing it

Dr Holover is going to be my surgeon as well .

One week post op I felt okay day 3 and 4 were the worst but after that I was back at work and walking 5 miles a day moving around sitting did bother me tho on my incision where they took my stomach out .

27 from Long Island...using the ny bariatric group as well...just curious how long did u have to wait for approval after all things were submitted?

Honestly I think it depends on your insurance. Once I was done with the pre stuff and it was summitted I was approved within a week, but I have ghi and they said they are really fast. Hope that helps and good luck! I am about 8 weeks out and down 40 pounds

Just sleeved 11/11/15.
