VSG148Sz6 68 Posted December 16, 2012 I'm in Central Jersey also....Manalapan.....my Dr. Is Dr. Doug Ewing from Advance Laproscopic....... After removing the lapband bc of internal damage it caused bc it broke I was denied the sleeve....my bmi was too low. After the band was removed I gained the weight back and reached 35.2 BMI....the journey is not over bc my insurance UHC wants to see additional problems...my internist believes that with his letter and my six yr struggle I should get approved...but if I don't I too am considering MX.

suejersey 263 Posted December 20, 2012 I am getting sleeved tomorrow 12/20/12 at Centra State by Dr. Noyan. Good luck and God bless! I had a very good experience with Dr. Noyan - other than I was the last surgery of the day and hadn't eaten or drunk for two entire days! He is super supportive and very encouraging. I am very happy with how my sleeve turned out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find the support group helpful, just to be with others who understand what you are experiencing and to get questions answered. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

courtdavis 0 Posted December 27, 2012 I had my sleeve at the jersey shore on the 20th- had my post-op appointment on dec. 26th. was down 10 pounds. I have friends who were down 15-20 but im ok with my 10 because i have less to loose then them. First week i could barely eat a thing- now week 2 all I want to do is eat. I am sticking to the plan, but nervous i will over eat already! every diet has failed, scared this will too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
