How long has it been since you were sleeved? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dar1983 751 Posted July 14, 2012 A friend of mine was sleeved by him on 5/23 and she is down 5/23. If you don't mind me asking, what insurance do you have? What was your pre-op & post-op experience like? How long has it been since you were sleeved? 1. sleeved on July 3, 2012 2. Empire blue cross/shield 3. Pre-op experience: Other than some administrative frustrations (people not sure if my tests were in, and recorded, et...) I had a good experience. I was a little'pushy'....I had no intentions on waiting 6 months for surgery! 4. Post-op: great! I came through the surgery with flying colors, never filled my pain meds once home. The Bariatric Team at Mercy Hospital, was supportive both pre and post op. I am down 12 lbs so far, and trying to not to weigh myself every hour! LMAO!

jillian01 5 Posted October 31, 2012 I'm from Brooklyn NY, getting my sleeve at Mount Sinai hospital by DR Herron. The entire team has been great. I'm only one month in for my six month supervised diet but I have nothing by great things to say so far. All my appointment are set up and things are rolling faster than I expected. Going for my upper GI next week. Wishing you all the best of luck! Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmaloney 151 Posted November 1, 2012 From Franklin Square Long Island. I picked Dr. Dakin from NY Presbyterian & couldn't be happier. Sleeved 9/17. No complications at all. Down 37 pounds. Bariatric floor looked like hotel suites. 1 Red_Charms09 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
