Hi everyone...newbie here! Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Cari, live in NJ, and just began the process to getting Lap Band surgery. I've got 5 months to go before it can happen and I am thrilled and nervous about this whole thing.

Has anyone on here used Dr. Goyal? My general doctor referred me to him and I've met with him just once. I've done loads of research on him and he seems to be a great doctor.

I'm wishing everyone out there great success on their journeys!!:smile:

Hi Cari, Welcome!!! So where in Jersey are you? I'm in monmouth county myself. I'm in the middle of my 6 month monitoring by my PCP, November is month 6 and my surgery is scheduled for November 24th. My surgeon is Dr. Borao @ Monmouth Medical Center. Good luck with everything, it's an exciting yet nerve wracking process.....

Thanks to you both!

I'm in Newark and seeing Dr Goyal in Hoboken. I just started everything last week and am very excited, but yeah...it is nerve racking!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
