Congratulations! I was sleeved last year, July 25th also by Dr. Mitchell Roslin at Lenox Hill Hospital. We must be kindred spirits because I also used to live in the same are you live in on Albert Einsteins Campus. I am going to see Dr. Roslin next week Friday.

You have found a great place here for support and if you ever want to meet in person as a support system for each other I am more than happy to do so.

Hi, I live in Jackson Heights, Queens. I think it would be good if we could all meet up one day. Let me know when and where. I have to see my PCP for my last progress report which completes my 6 months and the rest of the paperwork which he will do that day. Then on Friday, the 27th I meet with the surgeon and hand in all the paperwork. I'm not sure what will happen then but I am hoping I get a surgery date or at least pre-testing appointments! I'm nervouse but excited!! :)

Keep cool today!!

Yay awesome we have people interested! :) Any ideas on an activity that would be good for both pre and post ops? I was thinking an outdoors picnic type thing at a park and we can all bring some sleeve friendly (or diet friendly for pre opers) foods? Just don't want it to be too hot (I don't do well in the heat- I'm fat and pale as a ghost so I sweat AND burn lol) Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks!! Sorry for the late response for some reason I can't see this group from my iphone. Dr. Roslin is great. Meeting up doesn't sound like a bad idea

Hey all!

My name is Ivy and I'm from Brooklyn (work in Washington Heights). I'll be getting revision surgery from the Lap Band to the Gastric Sleeve on Sept 17. I'm a little nervous but mostly excited. My Band surgery was 14 months ago and I'm happy to be moving forward with the Sleeve as it seems it will be a better fit for me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
