I'm from NJ, but I've moved to the Pocono's. I'm from JC / Plainfield. My Dr is Dr Teleo he's really good. pretty hard at 1st but I like that. He did an amazing job. My sx was on Jan 28,2020. I just had my 7mnth f/u & I lost 50lbs. Not sure if u want to travel up this way bcuz the drive back will b no fun after the sx. Especially w the road bumps. Good luck on finding ur choice. The adventure will b awesome! I'm loving my new body & the way my clothes fit... awesome I tell u..lol I didn't hv choices when I went to my surgeon. I saw him & went w him. I should hv done what ur doing & looked around... Now for my Tummy Tuck I will get a referral from him to c if I'm comfortable w the Dr & am willing to travel to find the right Dr for my LAST surgery. GOOD LUCK W yours....

Mali, Dr. Sadek 😁 is my list. I'm just uncertain about the follow up care. Did you have Robotic or regular laproscopic surgery?

Hope your doing well. Thanks.

So I’ll be honest- I’m just three weeks out so i only had one post op visit so far. I only met him once before surgery. Otherwise I addressed concerns to dr antoine who has the most amazing bedside manner. I’m not sure if it was robotic but I will say that i had an amazing quick recovery. With a large hiatal hernia I barely needed pain meds and was back to normal a week later except for lifting. Three weeks out i can eat everything, my incisions look great and I’m lifting my twenty pound baby. Most of his patients had similar experiences. I know some practices might have more of a focus on education which I found lacking here. I did a lot if my own education

      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! 😞
