Hi, I'm Hank and I have my sleeve scheduled for 12-04-12 with Dr. Binenbaum from Monmouth Medical Center. I am excited to start this journey and am looking to hear from anyone who has been sleeved at Monmouth, waiting to be sleeved in the area, and how you have done. Good luck to all, and can't wait to hear from you.

I'm originally from Spring Lake, NJ and did some of my nursing school at Monmouth Medical Center. My surgeon also did his residency there. You're in good hands. Best of luck with your journey! :)

Hi Hank- I am also from Central Jersey (exit 74). I had my surgery last week at SOCH in Manahawkin. So although I did not go to Monmouth for mine, they do have a great repuation, so I know you're in great hands! Although the hospital matters, just make sure you have the trust in the surgeon - that's where it really counts!

It's nice to hear from others in the area - good luck!

Hi!

I'm in Central NJ too but I'm having my surgery on Nov 15th at Morristown Memorial by Dr. Nusbaum. Good luck! We can all support each other as we go through this journey so close together!

I am from Middletown NJ, but I am having my surgery further north with Dr Andrei at Morristown. I love Monmouth Med Center, but my PCP prefers Dr Andrei. Good luck!

I am using Binni (as the office calls him) at Monmouth as well. I am scheduled for 9/25/12 and just had my pre adm testing done this past Fri. Getting nervous and psyched at the same time. I wish you good luck. I am happy with him so far...I am an RN so I know my docs...and how to deal with them. Hear good things about him.

One question...why not until Dec?

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
