Anyone recommend a doctor that can assist with my blood work so I know what Vitamins and supplements to take? I am having trouble finding a metabolic doc.

Sure anyway we can help each other. Neither she went to the seminar with me but once she went to her Dr. for the referrals to start pre op she advised her to try their program first because she's still young. I'm pre op for the sleeve, who was your dr. for your surgery?

Thank you, I used Dr Bilof in Millburn at Garden State Bariatric . I chose the DS over the sleeve and he has a lot of experience with the DS procedure.

Who are you currently seeing for your sleeve and when do you think you will have it?

Dr. Paragi in West Orange, he's affiliated with Barnabas Health. Garden State doesn't accept my insurance. I just started the process my first appt was June 24th I did my bloodwork and chest xray today. I see the Cardiologist Wednesday and the Nutritionist the 26th for the first time, I have to see the Nutritionist 3 times for my insurance. I got my pulmonary appt the end of Aug because I have rem apnea and asthma so I figure sometime in Sept he'll schedule me if all goes well so far the office is on top of things and every Dr. comes to his office I don't have to go around to get things done which is convenient.

That's great not having to run all over like I did. I just had my procedure done June 8th. So far so good very minimal pain and going on a month. If I can help answer any questions about anything don't hesitate to ask. Nice too meet you. My name is Trever
