Just wondering if there was anyone out there who has been sleeved by Dr Trivedi in Albany NY? I am scheduled for Jan 15 and looking for any local feedback....

That's awesome Penny!!! So happy that u finally made it to the "other side" good for u!!!

Yay!!! I am doing great!! Almost 1 year out and down 140lbs...I have loved having Dr Trivedi as my surgeon no complaints or complications????

My full feeling is awful!!! Feels like someone is sitting on my chest I try really hard up not get to that point... I usually hiccup right before that feeling so I know to stop. Full isn't the same anymore... Give it time and u will know I am almost 10 months out abs still learning????

Great idea..CW 186 GOAL by Thanksgiving 176! Here's to busting my butt for 9 lbs in 27 days!!!!

I am signed up to do the Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon in February 2014...anyone else??!?!?

I am hoping to run the whole race however I am not sure I can!!! I ran a 10k last month and 1 last weekend. I am signed up for 1 next month too.... My time that I submitted was 1:12 for the 10k. I hope to finish the 1/2 marathon in under 3 hours but I know I will stop for pics so I'm not sure...are u running with a group or by yourself?

I had my surgery with Dr Trivedi on Jan 15 of this year! I am down 91 lbs total and I couldn't be happier!!! I love the program at St Peters but sometimes I go to the Albany Med support group because they meet weekly and the St Peters group only meets once a month.i find the support groups super helpful and supportive hahaha

I started the app about 4 weeks out from surgery at 275 lbs ..... I am now 16 weeks out at 230 lbs and can run a full 5k and my first race is next Sunday! I definitely don't think u are too over weight to start you have to start somewhere right?!?!? It's not easy at first but I NEVER thought I would be able to run over 3 miles....but now I am able to! I also just started the 10k app! Good luck cause if I can do it anyone can!!!!!

Am I the only one that feels they still look the same after losing 60+ pounds? I see pics of other people and you all look great after losing weight but when I look in the mirror I don't see a difference in myself. I still have a long way to go (about 70 more pounds) but I just thought I would be able to notice a difference in myself by now. My husband says I'm crazy to not see a difference but I just don't. Am I the only one?

Yummy! I am going to try it this week!!!

The same thing happened to me! When I asked if I could somewhere else the office said no. Then when I got to the appt I still had to schedule a sleep study then wait another 2 weeks for the sleep study to be read by the dr and because I had sleep apnea I had to go back for another sleep study and then wear my machine for 2 weeks before they would clear me for surgery!!! My suggestion is to call the office and get on a cancelation list.... I was able to get in 3 weeks earlier than my original appt!

I had to see Lemanski pre-op for insurance approval. I actually kind of liked him

I am on my fitness pal too....what's your user name I will add u! I will have o find the body log one sounds better than the paper and camera method I have been using. For he reflux meds I was old to break them open and mix with something and to crush the tablets until about 3 mo post op. have any of u been to a post op support group yet?

I feel awesome! I have been back to the gym since week 3.5 I am 6 weeks out on Tuesday. I have lost 34 since the day of my surgery and a total of 51. I still have a ways to go but I feel awesome! Dr.s notes from which dr? It only took about a weeks for my notes to come over from Dr. lemanski cause I told him about how long I felt the process was taking and he actually made a call to get me into the pulmonologist earlier!

I'm in East Greenbush...I agree and Sky knows my feels about the pre-op process! The new lay is completely rude and I told her she was and all of the sudden her attitude changed. Dr. Trivedi is awesome I love him! I called like everyday too and did not feel bad about it cause I knew if I didn't it would take forever for the process to finish!

I am 4 weeks post op and I love Dr Trivedi...but I agree that his office staff is less than helpful. He could definitely benefit from a hard look at his process as I was left to try t figure things out on my own. I am a pretty persistent person so I called them almost everyday to try to get things moving. But my surgery was an easy one as was recovery!

Run the Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon in 2014!!!

My surgery was Jan 15 down 19 since the day of surgery total of 36

I have 6 too I definitely thought I was only gonna have like 3!

I also have a little one at home. One of the things I did was put the crib mattress on the floor with a toddler rail on the side and i didn't have to pick her up out of her crib. It made things easier! I wouldn't push yourself too much but I started picked her up about 5 days post op and could feel a little tug where my incisions were. She weighs about 30 lbs good luck!

Allison I too was sleeved 1/15/13! I feel good still on full liquids. I have a hard time with the liquids and protein too. My follow up is tomorrow to get my drain out and hopefully he will advance my diet to pureeds!

I couldn't eat anything but clear liquids the day before surgery and nothing at all after midnight....I know it has to do with Anesthesia but I'm not if it affects anything else with surgery....did your dr. say no eating the day before?

Not nauseous at all....leak test was perfect and I get to start clear liquids soon .... So weird to be on the "other side" but good!!!!

Had my surgery yesterday afternoon!!! All went well and am only in minimal pain waiting for my leak test now and hopefully will start liquids in a little bit!
