nyc8dove 40 Posted February 10, 2013 Hi I am scheduled to have surgery Feb 20 I really need a mentor I'm starting to doubt and panic. Is that normal? I'm pre surgery too.... I am very anxious about all of this too. I am sure it is normal. I wish you the best of luck. Where are you having it done? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lexsan 104 Posted February 10, 2013 Hi I'm having mines done at North Shore Community Hospital Dr Gellman in Long Island. What about you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lexsan 104 Posted February 10, 2013 I see in one of your old posts you are seeing Dr. Gadaletta at North Shore also cool we should chat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nyc8dove 40 Posted February 10, 2013 I see in one of your old posts you are seeing Dr. Gadaletta at North Shore also cool we should chat. Yes. I'm finishing up pre-op tests. I've been told by many people that Gadaleta is one of the best. Is Gellman the other doc in the practice? The name is familiar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kcinpa 159 Posted February 10, 2013 Preoop jitters are normal. I almost backed out the day of the surgery. And I have had some ups and downs afterwords as well, but for the most part this has been great and is definitely working!! I was sleeved on 1/28 my weight was 450lbs and I just went for my first postop visit on 2/8 and I was down to 421lbs. My goal weight it 200lbs so I have awhile to go. I think the worst part for me was my mental hunger. I am finally getting over that, it only took a few weeks...... Lol. I am sure you will do fine, good luck!! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
