    Dr Shawn Garber

    I've heard mixed reviews about him. I heard his radio commercial the other day. I am from long island and I highly recommend Dr. David Buchin in Huntington NY. He just did my revision from Lap band (done by diff doctor in Aug of 2010) to Sleeve on Aug 15th. Where in NY or LI are you from?

    There might be several Dr. Garber - are you referring to the one in NY?
  6. 4 Weeks ago today- I had my Lap-Band removed and was revised to the Gastric Sleeve. Since surgery I have lost almost 25 lbs! It was the best thing I ever did!

  7. Never got your number in a PM...
  8. Laser hair removal on my face is by far the best thing I ever invested in! It is so much more affordable now a day. I highly reccomend it!
  9. Hi All, I had a revision from Lapband to VSG on Aug 15th. I used to take Loestein 24FE before my revision surgery. My surgeon told me due to absorption issues that 'could' happen I should look into another form of birth control. I went to my OB- GYN and she suggested the Nuvaring because I have PCOS and still need hormones in my birth control. So, my question is: All post-op's, what kind of Birth Control do you use? Does anyone use the Nuvaring & what do you think of it? Thanks!!

    I have United Health Care Choice Plus- for my Lapband surgery that I had in August of 2010 I was approved 1st try. Where as, I just had a revision to the VSG on Aug 15th- and because it was a revision it was hell. Several appeals to denials. But if this you first surgery it should go pretty smoothly as long as they identify comorbidities. Hope that helps. I wish you luck in the future.
