Anyone get their Sleeve done by Dr.Matei in south fl?



Recommended Posts

When I was researching south Florida doctors, his name and hospital ever came up. I used Dr. Wizman in Margate. My surgery was supposed to be at Northwest but he had a falling out the day before, so it was moved to Coral Springs. I live in Delray. The patients in the support groups are fantastic. The nurse that runs the general support group, Sandy, is wonderful. The RD that has the monthly lecture comes from Cleveland Clinic and she's amazing, too. I also strongly considered CC but it was just too far and their support groups are very inconvenient from a time perspective. I wish you the best with your search. Let me know if you have any questions.

I'm sure he does a great job and you'll be very happy with the outcome. Just follow the program and you'll be fine. For me, the gas was the worst part. The posts here about what to bring to the hospital were so useful. If you haven't seen those, you might want to do a search. Having an extension cord for phone charging was key. Also having a pillow in the car for the ride home was a huge help. One of my friends recommended having small cups of liquids and Jello ready to go, like the paper or plastic cups you might use in a bathroom. It worked great for me, especially just being able to eyeball portions. Good luck!!

      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.

      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! 😞
