      Changing everyday feeling better every day.

  2. If anyone wants to join a November group there is one called "November 2014 Sleevers Everyones welcome" its on facebook. There is also a private fb group for November 2014 sleevers .
  3. Honestly in the beginning it wasnt very exciting. I had 3 procedures done at once the VSG, Gallbladder removed and a hernia repaired so I was alot more sore then others were but I am finally feeling better and happier. You do go through a roller coaster of emotions and feelings. It gets better though. Yesterday I went to the drs and found out in 6 days I lost 18lbs! I was so excited and it finally made me see the bright side of all this. Its hard to explain but emotions run crazy in the beginning. Dr. Paragi did an excellent job and my incisions are healing so beautifuly. Everyone who sees them says how lucky I am because by the time they fully heal you wont really be able to see them and they wont leave scars because none are raised. I am happy about that.
  4. I had the VSG, gallbladder removal, and hernia repair all done on Nov 6 by Dr. Paragi out of St. Barnabas hospital. He did an excellent job! I was very sore the nurses kept my pain down as much as possible. By the time I got from recovery an into my room I was able to get up and walk. Walking helped break up the gas. There were other bariatric patients on the floor who couldn't get out of bed the second day and here I had 3 surgeries at once and was up and walking atleast once and hour. Dr. Paragi came and checked on me before surgery, after and the next morning then gain before I left to go home. So far everything went well! Just make sure you get your prescriptions filled in the hospital before you leave because I couldn't get any of my local pharmacies to fill my prescriptions.

    Any Jersey Sleevers?

    I'm going to Dr. Prakash Paragi in Livingston st Barnabas medic center.
  8. Did you have your surgery with him yet?
  9. Hi I understand why you are nervous but that review was almost over a year ago and if you ask the office to what happened they will. Alot factors into a persons death. I know the office told me about loosing someone last year because their bmi was over 60 and some other reason came to into factor. This is the first time I am reading this review it also makes me feel very uneasy esp since my surgery is scheduled for Nov. 6
  10. Still no date yet but should be getting it the end of this month and my nerves are starting to kick in :/

      Here is how I found out my date, my doctor's office hasn't even told me, but the insurance company has it on file bc they have to submit for approval with the insurance for a certain day. Call your insurance, ask them what's the surgery date they have on file ;)
