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

I was sleeved at RWJ 12/21

Who was your Dr. How was the experience? I've never been to that hospital before.

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?

Hi. I'm having surgery 5/24 with Dr Sadek's team. I haven't met him yet. Only met Dr Melman and Dr Donaire so far. I meet Dr Sadek in April. He comes highly recommended.

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.

That's so good to hear. I finally get to meet him next week. I've met both the other doctors already.
