Hi All,

New to the form, glad to have such a great place for info.

Have an appointment with this Doctor in hopes of having sleeve surgery.

Compared to other doctors not much about her on Google. Would love to hear from anyone who has had the surgery with her. Thanks

I had the lapband with her at the time 15 years ago

.It was my decision to go with the band .She performs all WLS procedures.I just had a revision to RNY in December 2015 but with a new surgeon.

Very competent Doctor

She isn't my surgeon, but I know and have known a number of people who had lapband done by her. They all have positive things to say. I was impressed by her when I attended an NYU info seminar at which she was the surgeon-of-the-seminar. The fact that I ended up having surgery at Columbia had nothing to do with her. She still has affiliation with NYU, but I'm don't know its nature.

@, yes, indeed. The next clothing exchange just happens to be next Monday,, the 11th. Here's a link to the post in BP. If you're free, by all means join in. (Dr. Kurian's office on Madison is among those I send notices to.)

I dropped by here again by chance. If you have any questions about the exchange, either post them at the above or here in your own topic. If you choose the latter, click the little, blue "mention" under my i.d. info so that I'll know.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
