Dr Trivedi in Paramus nj ....and he is an awesome surgeon!! Def look into it ....I'm 2 weeks and 2 days out ....so happy with my decision , you also get , a nutritionist for life ! They have been amazing !! Any questions feel free, I have 3 friends who also used him all with fantastic results!

I'm 11 days post And it gets easier everyday..I'm now sipping about 3 16.9 oz of Water plus juice and broth ..it will happen ...I wouldn't be concerned..they also pumped you up with I'VE liquids before you leave to help...focus on the mental aspect of not being able to grab anything you want !

Mine was day 8 post op!

I had surgery weds the 6 th , and I still get bad gas pains ...walk walk walk ! That's really all that will help , I also love my gas x strips!...feel better!

I am 5 days out and im sorry to be a realist but there is nothing you can do...nothing ...to prepare you for what will come ...my suggestion is this ...get yourself 4. , 1 ounce cups and fill each with a fluid of sugar free variety ..and sip each ( must be consumed in no more and no less than 15 minutes ..don't exceed 1 hour ..that's what you'll be eating for 2 weeks as your meals .all daylong..........I am hungry , I crave , and want food ...never thought it would be this hard....I would pay $100 to eat an apple ...I dont like apples btw.....my family needs to eat and the smells are killing me ...the sights are grueling ....be realistic when it comes to postop the work you need to do is MENTAL ...I wish I set up a therapist prior, I'm on that now , and will be seeing someone this week, I ate all I wanted ( the last supper) and enjoyed every second ....but I've cried now for 3 days ...I know this will end ....but it's the reality...your need and want to eat will still be there

Hey Jff I just had my sleeve on June 6 th this past weds at Hackensack with advanced lap in Paramus ,I used dr trivedi who are you using..and if uhave questions please feel free to ask!!

Wow! Just got home today ...sleeved' June 6 th ..what an experience ! I feel ok ...gas the worst part ,feeling deprived and going thru some emotional stuff, was kept In the hospital for nausea and not tolerating the fluids...not very comfortable right now ..gas is Logged in my back ..trying to get my fluids in in the time frame allotted (1 oz every 15 mins) very difficult for me ...also very swollen , so no fun results yet! Hopefully Soooon

Yep tomorrow weds is the day !! Yay! I have waited, long and hard, and i still can believe its here! I just ate my last meal ...I did not need to do a pre- op diet ...that was weird! And to make the choice ?!? on what meal, to eat as my last, I surprised myself , although I have been eating pretty much everything and anything I've wanted for 2 months ..I feel so ready!! But very scared...what would you eat for last meal?!?! Wish me luck! And keep me in your prayers pleaseeeeeeeeeeee..I'll keep everyone posted on my experience and progress!!
