Hello Long Islanders I am located in Farmingville and used Dr Ahmad in Port Jefferson to perform my surgery.

I have Aetna and was approved first time they submitted. They required 6 months of weight.

Lisa Lampanelli and her husband was just recently sleeved and she has lost over 50 lbs.

I was diagnosed with one in my endoscope they fixed mine when they did my sleeve.

I just took 8 weeks FMLA from my job. My position was saved and I got 100% pay. It's one of my benefits. I work for a payroll company.

My nut says not more then 16 grams of fat per serving.

My doctor put me on the schedule before I was approved. My surgery was a week after the approval.

As long as your doctors office send in all the required information you should be fine. I had to have six months of weights showing BMI of 40. That was it.

I have Aetna. No diabetes, no hypertension and a BMI of 40 and was approved first time within 5 days.

I have an 8 and 12 year old and I explained the process to them. They now look out for me and help me stick to my diet.

Skinny girl makes all kinds of low fat alcohol beverages including wines. None of them are carbonated.

We did it 2 weeks after and used a position that avoided my stomach.

I live in farmingville and used Dr Ahmad in Port Jefferson.

We waited 2 weeks and did it in a position that would not put pressure on my stomach.

I had 5 incisions and I took 7 weeks off of work. I didn't want to go back till I started to eat normal. It was easier to make meals at home and not explain why I was eating broth. Although I had no complications I still get low on energy and take naps in the day.

Let me start by saying how fortunate you are to get this amazing opportunity at such a young age. I was over weight my whole life and didn't have this opportunity at your age. I had to wait till 43 years old to start my journey. This will change your whole life for the better. You can do this and in a year will look back and be amazed at how well you feel and look. We are all here to support you with questions and concerns. Your age is on your side. Good luck!

I like the skinny girl Cosmo. I haven't tried the other flavors. Before surgery my drink was vodka and cranberry.

Good luck.

Bethany has her own talk show on Fox. She created skinny girl.

If you can insert it you can use it.

I love her and just watched the episode she looks amazing.

I am nearly 4 weeks out and haven't puked once. I weigh everything I eat and I'm diligent about not going over my ounces. I have had only 2 incidences where I had to get up and walk around because I felt full and both times I had rice. I think it depends on what you eat.

I gained 15 lbs and had to stay there for 6 months. My insurance only required a BMI of 40 for 6 months. I wasn't letting 15 lbs keep me from getting this surgery.

I had mine on June 13 th and in the last 2 weeks only lost one lb.

You look amazing!!
