Any gastric sleevers in NYC?

Yes, my insurance doesn't cover the surgery and the prices out of pocket here were too much! I got my insurance to cover all the preop testing thankfully. I began the process at the end of July and got scheduled for the 21st

Of September *

Dam that sucks at least they cover the testing I'm sept 21 as well

Hey guys sorry was at work all day 10hr shifts are no joke on the liquid diet! I'm ready to knock out! xD the inverted sleeve is an extra step at the end to secure the new stomach against leaks. YouTube "Dr. Kim Inverted Sleeve" from Kim Bariatrics there's a quick 5 minute video or so that explains what it is exactly

Yeah I checked out the video after asking what it was lol... My doctor will be doing that as well I believe. Doing pre-op class the NUT said the doctor will be sewing as precautionary measure to assure there's no leaking.. Surgery is next week Thursday for me I'm nervous and scared at the same time.. Lol

Ah hehe sorry got to you too late lol but that's awesome! and yay!! You're literally almost there!! I'm excited for you!! it's totally normal to be a little scared and nervous, I've had previous surgeries done (none for this kind of surgery specifically) and all put me under full anasthesia it's like you're going for a nap and waking up 5 minutes later except I'm sure this time you'll probably feel some pressure or something from where they made the incesions it'll be okay! Just remember the goal, a new healthy you!

Thanks @@jacks89 I've had a C-section so I know about being put under and pain around the abdomen area... I'm soooo excited to begin this new chapter in my life.... Good luck to you as well... I hope all works out for you!!! God bless..

Thank you!

I'm NYC on sept 17th with Dr Kurian at NYU.

Good luck!

Yea liquid diet sucks, my doctor allows one small meal and two shakes so it's manageable. Thought I would be more nervous at this point but I'm just ready to get it done.
