Any Jersey Sleevers?

[VSG148Sz6 68]

I had the Lapbadn done by Dr. Doug Ewing in Hackensack. After five years and only loosing 44lbs, the device leaked then cracked and I had it removed. Bc I was under the 35 BMI my insurance company denied my Sleeve request. My dr has put me on a weight loss plan. He's put me on Phentermine, and although legal and it doesn't make me jittery, I havent slept well since being on it. I don't like it bc I think its something that only lasts for a short time and when Im off it the weight will come back. I have another Dr. appt on the 19th and I've written down my concerns and how its made me feel.

I wanted to know if anyone else has gone this course, before surgery of course? And if so are my concerns founded or did it jump start your weight loss.

Hi Drea:

I had my surgery at Valley on 12/11. The staff was wonderful. Private rooms on the surgical floor, and the nurses are very in tune to our specific needs. Good luck!!

I will be at support group in January so I will see you there. It has been 3 weeks since my surgery and I am down 33 lbs...so happy

When is the support group meeting in January? I was sleeved by Dr. Noyan on 12/17 at RWJ. I'm also from the Hamilton area :]

I also just heard that Sabina is no longer there. Don't know why, though. I am sure they will have to get another nutritionist, but hopefully quickly and it is kind of a bummer because it will be a new person to get to know. Sabina was so helpful and upbeat. Hope they can find someone just as good.

yes, I also heard from a sleeve friend who had Dr. Noyan, that Sabina has left. I was shocked because she didn't mention anything to me when I saw her less than a week ago!

I just had mine done at OLOL in S. Jersey on the 2nd. It really does get better each day but the 1st day or 2 killed me. So far so good and love my doc :-)

I had my surgery on 12/26 at overlook hospital in Summit. Doing good so far except for the fact that I am very week. Hopefully my strength will come back soon.

How was your hospital stay? I am having surgery there on 1/9th? Who was your surgeon?
