Hi! I'm just starting out and I will be having my surgery at Winthrop hospital. Just wondering if anyone has used this group. My dr is Dr A. Barken. I'm going to my primary dr to get a weigh in tomorrow and see if we can back track a few months. I'm in southern Nassau county if anyone is looking for a buddy Lisa

Anyone else June 6th

Pm if you can.. Thanks! It won't let me Pm you

June 6th here! Anyone else

June 6th!! Just found out yesterday!!

I am still pre op. I found out I have mild sleep apnea and i need to be on a cpap machine for 2 1/2 weeks before we can submit to insurance. Last night was night 12 .

I had surgery 3/9/16 with Dr. Ahmad! Amazing Doctors and Staff! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Great! How are you feeling?

Does SAMs have the vanilla?

Anyone else on LI? Winthrop group dr Barkan??

Did anyone else have this, it came diagnosed from my. Endoscopy. I'm on meds but what if it doesn't clear up??

How did everyone do on these? Did you lose? Gain? Did anything effect your surgery??

Thank you @@Amayor85 I see my dr for my last weigh in on March 7th, I'll try my hardest to lose the few pounds I gained.

My dr office suggests 3 weeks, I work in daycare but my co worker who also had the sleeve was back after a week. We only have 3 employees, it's a home daycare, so everyone else just helped her pick up the slack. I'm hoping for a Friday surgery and will go back the second Monday for 10 days out.

At which hospital??

Just looking for people who will be sleeves around the same time as me. Dec will make month 3 for me. So all goes well, I assume late March/April will be my surgery.

No not yet, I'm on in my month 3 weigh in. My dr is Barkan.

You. Are. Beautiful. ????

Keep your eye on the prize! Good luck

Yea they are pretty strict about it at any table service character meals probably buffets also.. Lord I love Disney lol.. Hope to go back soon!!!!!

I'm hoping for March also, but I'm going to assume April.

Hi everyone! My name is Lisa and I am just starting the process. I'm 35 and I have struggled with my weight my entire adult life, the last time I was a healthy weight was probably when j graduate high school. Last night I went with my best friend to the seminar for our hospital that we will use and they already made our initial appointment for November 13th. I'm am currently around 305pounds. I have been "dieting" for 2 years.. I got down to 274 from my highest of 315 on and off on an off.. Up and down up and down.. I honestly just don't know what to do anymore. Without getting the sleeve done, I honestly don't ever think I will lose the weight I should to take back control of my life. I'm scared to death of surgery and hope I don't die getting it done. That's about all for now.. Lol Anyone please feel free to comment! I'd love to talk to anyone who's been sleeved or thinking about it ????

With the leg and chest pain, I would call your dr ASAP just to be checked out. Hope you are feeling better soon

Hope you are feeling well and congrats!

Does the endoscopy hurt? Do they knock you out?

I am pretty immobile, should I start walking more often? Well, yes I know I should to be healthier.. But to help prevent clots, should I start now? I have trouble walking because my knee, and also my shins really start to hurt. But maybe if I start with once or twice around the block now will be helpful in the long run. I think when I start out with walking, I push myself to much and get disappointed with the pain and than give up quickly.. I work one mile from work and I have walked there once, and when I got There I was in so much pain I almost cried. Sad but true ???? a clot after surgery is my BIGGEST fear and may actually hold me back from this.
