My surgeon will be Dr. Alex Gandsas he is from NJ and is now in Maryland. The hospital will be Anne Arundel Medical Center. He's a GREAT doctor! Has any one used him?

Does anyone have Carefirst? I was approved on the first try. They said I have to wait 6 months I need to see a nutritianist once a month. I was wondering since I have tried so things to lose weight ie: weight watchers 5x personal trainer, gym, nutri system, to name a few. I'd like to know if they can take that into covciderTion?

Im one and a half months into the process of getting the sleeve. I'm finding it hard to get my butt moving to go for walks. I also was a huge ice cream eater which I stopped eating it a while ago. Just yesterday I bought some and ate it then I was so mad at myself. I'm I know I should start out like 10 minutes a day. I guess I just needed to get that off my chest. -
MY sleeve surgery is not until Aug/sept I'm looking for some people who are having Their surgery in the fall who are from Maryland.

I'm in near Annapolis. How are you feeling? -
M worried about how the sleeve surgery will affect my medications. I'm on the perfect cocktail and haven't been depressed in 3 years. Has the surgery affected anyone with their meds?

I just started my journey April 3rd. I am now doing all the test I have 3 test left. The psychological, endoscopy and a EKG which I the last 3 appointments with the next 3 weeks. I can't wait for August/September to have my sleeve. I'm so excited. I was going to do the last year but I was not ready. Now I'm so ready to do this. -
Was told by a psychiatrist my meds would have to be taken more frequently because of the surgery. Something how the meds are absorbed quickly. Have you heard of this? I have not been depressed for over 2 yrs. and don't want to be playing with my meds.

Thank you LindafromFlordia. When I see mt surgeon next month I will ask him about it.
