Any Jersey Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I'm in South Jersey was sleeved 05/06/2013 in Atlantic city by Dr. Patel. He and his staff made me comfortable through the whole process. Down 80lbs , 10 more to go. Only negative to the surgery was I had to have my gull bladder removed 8 months post op. No biggie though.

Can u message me....

I was also sleeved by Patel in sept 2012. Office staff is amazing. I had my gall bladder out aprox 2 year before sleeve. Good luck!

Hi all! I'm 4 weeks post op and 31 pounds down. I'm from the Bergen Co area. Good luck to all about to begin their journey. When you look back at the recovery you'll be able to say it was a piece of cake and we'll worth it!

Hi what hospital and doc did you use?

Hi all! I'm from bergen county area. I was sleeved Feb 3rd. No issues so far. I've lost 30 pounds. Now I'd they could give me a labotomy to get through the mental part of wanting food that would be golden!

I was sleeve in Feb by dr. Bagloo at Columbia because my insurance wouldn't cover the surgery in Valley. Dr. Bagloo is his associate. I had a great experience at Columbia.

Wow I had the opposite experience. Abkin n his staff were very cold and messed up with my insurance 3 different times and kept rescheduling my surgery! Any way whom ever you choose good luck to both of you!

      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.
