I was sleeved on 4/24 I lost 17lbs, everything thankfully went smoothly for me. I lost 14 the first week and 3 at the beginning of week 2 But since then I have been on the famous stall. I thought I was doing something wrong but now I see I'm not the only one. I think I might just put my scale away because it's stressing me out

Thanks. Since I already have my date right now surgery is really all I think about. I'm glad it went well.

Thank you for your advice. Which surgeon did you have?

Same here I'm super nervous. But we got this! Reading success stories has helped me tremendously although I know that every one has a different journey.

Yes she is but I think it's also because they are a little disorganized. When I wrote the email I was told that they had it ready and forgot to contact me. I picked them because my friend had started the process and mentioned how great everyone was but the same happened to her she had to wait and wait and she just got discouraged and stoped all together. Stay on top of them!

Hey I'm a patient of Dr. Choi at Montefiore. You have to call and be on top of them it seems like some of you had a shorter wait time than I did I had to wait since January 25 till last week 2/27 for my appointment to sign consent and I had called and spoken to them in between email did work best. They will give you your surgery date the day you go to sign consent as well as your pre-op appointment and one last nutrition class ...I'm scheduled for 4/24/17...they are still scheduling for this month if you are able to go in. Good luck!

Just received my date today April 24th as well. I am so excited but at the same time so so nervous. I've sign consent and have everything done except for pre-op blood work which I believe is scheduled for the April 12, 2017 and one final nutrition class on the same day. Counting down!

Dr. Choi & yours ?

Thanks @tlola84 The same was happening to me we weren't playing phone tag I took your advice I emailed them last Monday they got back to me a day later and I had my appointment to sign consent today and I've been scheduled for surgery April 24th. It's a little far because I need time to request time off and my surgeon is going on vacation

Thank you Berry78

Hello everyone! I am a patient in Montefiore Medical Center in New York. I am getting really impatient waiting for my pre-op appointment to receive my surgery date. Basically I want to know how long it took the rest of you guys to see your doctor for a date after all your appointments. I have been waiting for a month now and called two weeks in and was told they will call. I already informed my job that I will be needing some days off and hope to know the actual date soon.
