Hi Nic dr Singh did my surgery at Albany Medical Center on Wednesday 7-23-08 I am 58 and have been 3 years researching and deciding what procedure to have . I chose the banding and Dr Singh told me he has done hundreds he is the best and also a professor as well as a office at AMC Good luck . All my other doctors acknowledge him as the best . Don't wait as long as I did to make the decission

Hi I was banded by Dr Singh on Wednesday 7-23-08 . I spent years researching and deciding . You do have to jump thru all the hoops and you are well prepared for what's to come ,so it is a process . You can call his office at AMC for an appointment . Every Dr I have seen in the past 3 years says hes the best .

I also am going to Albany Medical Center Dr Singh. I am penciled in for December 29, 2008. I have 9lbs left to lose by 11/18/2008. I am excited but the last 9lbs don't want to come off. His office is terrific. :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
