I have to say I am doing pretty good. The first week was rough because of lack of energy but I am feeling much better now. I had no after pain,nausea or vomiting. How about you?

[denyse1226 1]

Yes the first week was brutal gas pain to die for literally...but it got better didn't need any nauseous meds. Just pain at the one incision spot

Has anyone had surgery with Dr. Bessler out of Columbia and can tell me their experience? Also did you have it at Columbia in NYC or Valley in Ridgewood?

I might be having mine in Columbia NYC....heard the dr there are some of the best....they are actually also pioneering the sleeve procedure to fix other medical issues besides weight loss

I went to Dr. Bessler's informational meeting...he seemed to be completent ..I have chosen to go with the team at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhatten--Dr. Daniel Herron has a team to assist in preparation for the procedure.......it takes time and then gets submitted to the insurance company...... whyd did you choose Dr. Bessler at Columbia Presbytarian ?

Do you have a date? I'm in northern NJ - surgery is Dec 19th.

Hi there Annie B. I'm in Galloway. Did you have your surgery? How are you making out?

[AprilKeepingItOff 33]

Hey I'm scheduled for 12/28 in Vineland nj... Feel free to contact me.. I would like to talk to someone every now and then..

I'm in Galloway. No date yet. Just starting out and its a little stressful for me. How are you making out after your surgery?

[AprilKeepingItOff 33]

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' date=' but nervous i will over eat already! every diet has failed, scared this will too.[/quote']

No surgery date yet but feeling the same fears you expressed here. How are you making out? I'm at the shore as well.
