I had my friends and other family members cook meals and bring them by the house for the first week home. It helped a lot! I also didn’t sit at table with them for a week or two. Now past 3 weeks I’m totally fine cooking what they will eat and sitting with them enjoying my puréed egg salad 😁 good luck with your approval!

Hi All! I was sleeved Feb 28th and it went very well. I'm down 20 pounds didn't have much pain or nausea . UNTIL, 2 days ago. I have severe heart burn anytime i lay down or try to eat something puree stage. Luckily water is not a problem so i can get all that and my protein shake in. But anytime I try and eat it hurts and last night i couldn't get any sleep. It's not in my throat it's more under my chest plate. I'm on Dexilant and it's super expensive and is not doing the job. Please help me with any advice. I have a call in to the doctor but this group has been so helpful in my journey.

just sent request!

Hi, My surgery is set for Feb 27th if all goes well!

Hi, looking for others in New Jersey that possibly used Dr Abkin and St Clares hospital in Dover NJ. I read one bad review and I'm getting nervous! Many great ones too but the bad ones are the reviews that jump out! Surgery Date Feb 27 if all clearances pass.

Glad to hear you're doing well! I'm in NJ too getting mine next month at St Clares in Dover.

Ok, here it goes. Please excuse my spelling or grammar as this is just coming from the heart. I have been battling my weight my whole life. I can even remember being called wilson when i was in elementary school. I later found out it was because I was round like a ball. Ugh, kids are mean, well adults can be also. In High School I yo yo'd back and forth. My self esteem was non existent and unfortunately I let some take advantage of that. I was or felt like I was always the fat friend, the fat sister, the fat daughter. The girl with the pretty face if only she could lose the weight. Which I would and then gain back even more. I would do this many times over. Unfortunately for my Husband I met him on a thin year. I feel so bad, like a duped him sometimes. But he is by my side and supportive. We have two little kids that I want to have a healthy Mom. So all that being said, Today I scheduled my Gastric Sleeve Surgery! I'm excited and nervous and wish it was sooner. I'm eager to start my new life style. February 27th is the big day! I have lots of my appointments in the coming weeks. Wish me luck and good luck to all of you on this journey with me.
