Hi,

Congratulati on your 50 pounds loss!!!!

Sorry, to hear you are having complications.. I hope the nutritionists can help you.

Laney from Long Island also. I had my sleeve done at Stony Brook with Dr Pryor on 8/18/16. I am down 35 pounds but I have been at a stall for 2 weeks now it is frustrating.

Hope the complications get resolved for you soon.

Hi,

My name's Jerry. I'm not technically on the island but I'm pretty close.

My wife and I live in Bayside Queens and we are both getting sleeved during the

next two months. My wife is having her procedure this Friday and I'm getting mine on Feb. 14th.

We're both very excited about starting this new phase of our lives and look forward to any support we can find.

Was wondering if there were any other couples that have had this done on this forum. I'd love to hear some

of your stories. Gotta run. Have a great day, everyone.

Best,

Jerry

Hi there, almost 9 months post-op and down 75 pounds feeling great!!!How is everyone else doing? I meet up with some others from LI that have been sleeved and if anyone is interested in joining us our next meet up is June 3rd at Panera in Garden City. It is nice to be able to chat with others that have gone through and understand the surgery we had. Elaine

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
