It took me 6 month but that was because of insurance weigh ins. So I would say it depends on your insurance unless your self pay.

New York Bariatric Group is fantastic.. I’ve used Dr.Garber and Dr. Holliver but im sure all the surgeons in their practice are fantastic. I’ve been with that practice since 2012 and they are great from the office staff, nurses, pa’s, and surgeons :)

I forgot to say I’m in Long Island:)

Hey, I’m Stacey. I was banded in 2012, then sleeved last month.

Hey.. I've had tummy tuck (July 2015)after loosing 125 pounds with the lapband, it slipped I gained some of that weight back and revised to the sleeve in February. I have had no problems besides know I have a bunch of little scars on my stomach.

Hi Everyone, My Lapland removal was just approved by the insurance company. I was just wondering how the recovery is for the Lapland removal? I am trying to anticipate how many days of work I need to take off. Thank you in advance

I had my one moth today. I lost 10 more pounds for a total of 26 from pre op and 17 from surgery.

I have been a patient of NYBG for about 6 years and that office has been nothing less then fantastic, I can't say enough good things. Of course, I don't really see the doctors unless its surgery or an endoscopy but the staff is great. I really just see the PA, Nicole. I also saw Sharon for the nutrition consult and for my first follow up. I email a lot and my questions are always answered pretty quickly. As for soft foods, I didn't have any problems and stayed on all protein soft for the month and just started solid protein,

I am feeling good, back to normal besides the fact that some days I am absolutely exhausted but it’s getting better. Wednesday is my one month visit. Our stats are around the same. Hw286 sw272 cw253. I am a revision patient though. I had the lapband for 5 Years and revised to the sleeve.

Hey, I am in Long Island and was sleeved by Dr.Holover February 13th

I am having the lapband removal and then a couple months later I am having the sleeve. I was told they have to be done separately

One year ago today took the first step to change my life. I got the lapband and started my journey to loose weight and change my life. The last year has been a challenge to say the least but today I stand here 115 pounds lighter and amazed with all I accomplished this year. I started my journey at 314lbs. Today I weigh 199lbs, and still aiming for goal:)

I started going to the gym very early in my journey. I workout about5-6 days a week for about 1- 1 1/2 hours and it has truly made a difference in my weight loss. I have been doing a combination of strength training and cardio. It's crazy the things I couldn't do in the beginning but can do now!

Hi Nicole- this journey has probably been the hardest things I've ever done and stuck with. I'm 25 and there's always temptations! I do struggle daily still but I lean on my friends for support. The feeling of success is worth it! I started going to the gym very early in my journey and built a strong support system there. I truly believe that working out has helped me so much. You can do it! If you need anything or just need to talk , message me

I always carry a bootle on the crystal light squeezes in my purse. If I would like to have a drink with friends I order vodka and water and then just add my crystal light. It's always safe a d doesn't upset my stomach. They're a bunch of favors too

I am down 41 pounds so far.

Hi I'm Stacey, 25 and from long island too. I was banded in may of this year if you would like to chat

Hi, I am also in long island and was banded may 21st. It would be nice to meet people in the area that are going through the same thing as me

Hello. I'm Stacey. I just moved to long island, ny and am getting banded on Monday. Starting to get a little nervous but I know in the long run all this will be worth it. Just reaching out for some friends and support. Since I just moved back home after Being away for seven years my local support is very small. hope to meet some great people on here and advice is always welcome!

Are you ready for Tuesday?
