Hi. I had my clothe tailored to fit better and purchased minimal essentials especially for work. My shirts were easier to fit but definitely tailored my pants. I went from xxxl shirts to large and pants were size 46 and presently 34-36 pending designer.

Ok Once I did everything and the paper work was submitted by the hospital i was approved about a week later. Once I had the approval they were going to do the surgery two weeks after since they had an opening but I held off for a month later in order to prepare myself and properly do the 2 week preop diet. The only hard time I got from 1199 was that my doctor kept me out for the entire allowed time of 6 weeks due to fatigue. They only wanted to accept 3 weeks but it was resolved quickly once the surgeon spoke to them. That same day they approved my 6 weeks for my short term disability. Aside from that I didn't have any issues with them considering i work for 1199 but when it comes to disability they're very strict and require documents. There was no favors considering I work here . -

Hi. Interesting. That must have extended it. When I did it, it was 4 months and a few coworkers also waited 4 months. The important thing is to get it done. Good luck -

Great. You'll love them. Unfortunately the surgeon that did mine left to become director of surgery at another hospital but the staff is awesome. They also have a support group that meets monthly. Ask them about it. I usually go depending on how much work I have. But they are very thorough. As long as you follow their guidance you'll succeed. It's also about being mentally prepared. Prior to my surgery I knew my eating had to change so I made a list of all my favorite places and enjoyed each meal slowly just to remember them. It did help a lot. Now it's just about maintaining it. The gym and exercise is very important. -

I have 1199 insurance from my job. I had to wait 4 months for approval. Monthly check in with my doctor, psychologist visit, sleep apnea test, nutritionist visits. Once I did all that I had the procedure the following month. I started the process in January 2015 . I had it done at NY Presbyterian Hospital. Best experience. The surgeon kept me out for 6 weeks due to fatigue but most people go back after 2 weeks but everyone is different. Feel free to ask anything else you may want to know. -

Hi. I was sleeved by Dr Bagloo when she was at NY Presbyterian in May 2015. Awesome experience with her. The pre and post follow ups with her team made it a great experience. She answered all my questions and even in one situation called me right away after having a minor issue and was resolved with a Rx. If you Seeger tell her Antonio T from NYP said hello.
