My sister had her surgery with him last November and he will be doing my surgery this November too! Are you from northern nj? Yep! I work around the corner from his office, but I live in Sussex County

This has becomes response too. I can't believe how any people actually ask... Like coworkers!My manager asks me every week. One of the docs I work for who also happens to be my gastro asks, but it doesn't bother me. He's like you amaze me! You're doing fantastic! Pretty soon I'm not gonna be able to see you! Lol he just wants what's best for me, but others are nosey

I tell them the weight lost since I started the two week preop diet.

Has anyone's liver levels risen since having surgery? Mine were always normal and I just had bloods drawn and they were significantly elevated. I work for a gastro doc so in two weeks we are gonna repeat with other tests and hope it was a fluke. I am 8 weeks post op

As soon as I was comfortable and if a certain position hurt don't do it lol

Had my surgery Feb 9th went back the 18th

Be careful with the carbs

coconut oil works wonders

I'm almost 4 weeks out and never really felt full on liquids, but as soon as I got to puréed foods it hits Ya! I remember wondering if the surgeon really did the surgery lol

Call to make sure they received it. There's been plenty of times where my job has faxed something been given a document number and when we follow up they say they never got it

I packed entirely too much! Didn't get into my clothes until I left. I only used Chapstick, phone charger, and phone

My nutritionist encouraged me to get my protein from food. I'm 3 weeks out

Have your surgery. You're very lucky to have a supportive husband

I had mine placed during surgery and removed right before being discharged

I never changed out of my gown til I left. The only things I took out of my overpacked bad were Chapstick, my phone and charger
