I am from the Island but live in Chicago now. dr Alan Geiss s a great surgeon and he did my Lap Band 10 years ago. Although I want this band the heck out of me, I still believe he is the best on Long Island.

Dr Vorha for me too. Sleeve done on 10/23/12. Almost 4 months ago. Down 50 pounds, a slow looser but not one post op complication! Feeling good.

Yes I had one drain which was removed the morning of discharge. It was a bit uncomfortable while it was in. When it was pulled out it did not hurt it just felt weird.

Hi - Good Luck tomorrow! I'm sure you will do GREAT! I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Gadaletta and the practice so I'm sure Dr. Gellman is great as well. I"m about 3 weeks out and doing pretty good. I've lost almost 30 pounds and really have had no other complications (except gas pain the beginning.) I am getting sick of just liquids - but it is all part of process. Let me know how everything goes!

Dr Vohra is my surgeon too. My surgery was 11/20 and I haven't had any complications at all. As of today I'm 61 pounds down.

Hi I'm five days post op and feeling great last night I slept without pain meds aside from the discomfort of incision and drain I am doing GREAT! Dr. Gellman is awesome took 2 hours for my surgery the worst thing for me was the gas pain in the left shoulder OmG that was killer but to be honest only lasted a few minutes nurses came in and medicated me then I started walking and it dissapeared. I love Charmaine and the nutrionist did you meet with them before leaving the hospital? They gave me this neat pillow.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
