Hi guys,

I was sleeved July 2nd and joined VST on the 4th. My surgery was done by Dr. Mitchel Roslin at Lenox Hill Hospital. I was born, raised and still live in the Bronx NY. Right now I live in the Morris Park/ East 180th area.

Thank you!! Im so glad to have found a group based in NY. Funny but from what I see a lot of us are from the bronx as well.

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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
