My daughter and I decided that we are going to make stuffed animals out of my clothing after surgery and donate them to the nursing home my Gramps is in

Dr. Sadek and his staff. Who is your surgeon? My experience at RWJ was good. I stayed overnight in recovery b/c they didn't have a room for me. The nurses there were very attentive.

I am in South Jersey. Making my way through all of my appointments and am coming up with other issues I was not aware of. The worst one is that my EKG came back abnormal which they said could mean I had a previous heart attack. I am going to the Cardiologist on March 28 for further testing. I am so worried about my health at this point and also the possibility of not being approved for surgery now. Has anyone else gone through this type of issue and how did it turn out?

love Dr. Sadek & team...I have my one month follow up this afternoon and have

had nothing but a positive and professional experience. Went to him Nov 21st and

left w/surgery date of Feb 22nd...lost 15lbs preop and another 15-16 since surgery.

They keep their appts or reschedule w/no problem. EVERYTHING they did was "as it was presented" to me.

NO SURPRISES - Great results...Compassionate doctor who cares and wants to help you!

Good luck

I had a heart attack a few years prior to my sleeve. My surgeon required a sign off from my cardiologist. Once he received that sign off he was ready to move forward with the surgery.

My surgeon was Dr. Sadek also and I only have positive things to say about the whole team.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
