Hi All. I'm glad to stumble across this page! Was really looking to do the Lap Band but after talking to so many people I might do the sleeve. Any one in the North New Jersey area that love their doctor/surgeon? I have TWO seminars to go to at different places, different set of doctors. xoxo Mimi

I have my first appointment with Dr. Trivedi from Advanced Laparoscopic Associates in Paramus coming soon. I attended the HUMC seminar and was very impressed. My GP recommended Dr. Trivedi, but everywhere I ask, I hear the same thing. He is the goto guy in the area.

Per the Lapband, everything I read kinda pointed to VSG as the best for success. Everyone's journey is different. Good Luck!

definitely don't do the lapband. Lots of people have problems with it. In fact, a lot of surgeons refuse to do them anymore. Go with the sleeve or the bypass. They both have proven track records.

Dr. Schmidt, Trivedi and Ewing ran the HUMC seminar. Very informative.

I met with Trivedi today. Very nice man, lots of patience with all my questions. I also did my nutritional evaluation with their in house Nutritionist. All went smooth. Now, six months for pre-op diet and I should be all set.

DO NOT do lap band. Reputable surgeons and the major centers no longer do them at all. You will have multiple issues and eventually have to have it removed. My surgeon only does removals now. Several a week. I chose VSG but RNY is still the gold standard. Good luck. Do your research and you'll do great.

Did He keep you two days? I heard he likes to keep Sleeve patients an extra day just to be safe.

Yeah, standard 2 days. In case of any complications. But all good

I'm not in New Jersey, but I had the sleeve in June and I would do it all over again. I stayed in the hospital one night, only because I reacted badly to the anesthesia.

If your in northern NJ why not go to NYC. I was at NYU. If you have a complication you don’t want to be in a ‘center’ you want to be in a multidisciplinary full hospital.

      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?
